The Elephant and Macaw Banner

Synopsis

An unlikely pair of brave adventurers - the Dutch explorer Gerard van Oost and the Yoruban warrior Oludara - travel the wilderness of sixteenth century Brazil. They aim to protect both the new colonies and the native inhabitants from dangers human and supernatural. Along the way, they encounter a host of creatures inspired by Brazilian folklore: from the brain-sucking Kalobo to the one-legged prankster Sacy-Perey. This multi award-winning, Nebula-finalist series is now a novel - with new material, but the same mixture of action, adventure, humor, magic, and South American folklore that has won it fans the world over. - Aliette de Bodard, Nebula and BSFA Award winner. - Elias F. Combarro, Sense of Wonder.
