Description
Imaro is a heroic fantasy tale of a young man's struggle to find acceptance and break the cycle of violence in his life. Set in a richly imagined alternate Africa, this novel combines elements of history, myth, and legend to create a unique and compelling narrative.
Based on African traditions and legends, Charles Saunders has created a world that is both familiar and yet, utterly new. The story follows Imaro, a larger-than-life warrior, as he travels across this fantastical land, searching for a sense of home and belonging. Saunders' novel addresses the alienation of growing up as an African American fan of science fiction and fantasy, providing a fresh perspective on the genre and its often ethnically homogeneous audience.
With its broad knowledge of African history and myths, Imaro offers a unique perspective on the continent's complex past and present. This is a story that will appeal to fans of epic fantasy and adventure, and to anyone interested in exploring the rich cultural heritage of Africa.
