En savoir plus sur le livre
Childe Rolande, Hermaphrodite and Freak, is born into the matriarchal society of Alba, where the nation is in turmoil. Rolande embodies an ancient Prophesy that foretells a ‘Redeemer’ who will unite the land and end the tyranny of female rulers. The hopes of Alba’s oppressed males rest on this mystical figure, who possesses the wisdom of ages and can transform into an eagle at will. The narrative follows Rolande's quest to meet these expectations, confront the Warlord of the Clans, and defeat the evil Sorceress, Fergael, to unite the fractured Kingdom. Written in the first person, the author skillfully avoids defining the protagonist by gender, allowing for a broader exploration of power dynamics. This approach highlights how a kingdom dominated by one group can subjugate others. The text draws on poetic influences, particularly Byron’s work, inviting readers to engage in a literary game of allusion that rewards those who appreciate fantasy and the politics of humanity. Samantha Lee, a graduate of the Central School of Speech and Drama, has a diverse writing portfolio, including novels in horror and dark fantasy, self-development books, and screenplays. She is known for her iconic children’s TV programme, Rainbow, and has seen her work translated into multiple languages. Currently, she is writing a sequel to this tale.
