Heartfire Rendezvous: Destiny Jamal Ali

Publisher Marketing: In Heartfire Rendezvous, Book I - Destiny, Oldupai has cherished, and sustained, a relentless love with his soul mate Inandara, across continents and lifetimes. They have come together again, one last time, to complete their unfurling destiny, one aeons in the building. Caught in time storms of memories, they journey to the Amazon with his complex daughter Ashanti to heal, bond and in the process, each discovers past lifetimes come alive. More of Oldupai's memories awaken, and with them come magic and long forgotten tools. Driven by love of heart and spirit to save his woman from their ancient nemesis, Oldupai makes the ultimate sacrifice. With Oldupai weakened and alone in the grotto, Inandara takes the battle to the sky, to the wonder and horror of the people of the village. The lash of oppression has become too familiar to them, and when Inandara and Ashanti confront the land baron, the final verdict is rendered, clinched by a witness unforeseen. Yet the end game remains, and revelations unfurl, leading to a battle for ages foretold. "Heartfire Rendezvous is a Lord of the Rings for people of the tropics. This trilogy is a giant step forward in 21st century speculative fiction." Dr. David L.
