BACK
FOR A LIMITED TIME
You thought you had lost it, but Ailsa Abraham's wonderful novel Shaman's Drum is back on the market for six months only. From today (1st
June 2017) it will be available in Kindle form for only 99p or 99cents as a special
re-introductory offer. If you haven't already read it, you've missed a real treat - so grab it now.
WHAT? A mixed genre book which can
be read as a stand-alone or as the sequel to Alchemy. It has variously been
described as slightly futuristic magical realism, fantasy and romantic
thriller.
WHEN? Set in our own word in just a
few years' time after a world-changing scientific discovery frees mankind from
dependence on fossil fuels.
WHY? The banning of public
religious practices was thought to bring an end to terrorism and war but
unexpected consequences turn the new ideal world into a nightmare. Pagans
having been left out of the ban are the only groups left to combat the new
threat and they are fighting between themselves.
WHERE? The Capital is never named
so it could be in your country.
WHO? Iamo, a priest of the Goddess
with an aristocratic background who has just been released from prison for
breaking his vow of chastity. Riga, a female Black Shaman avenger who was the cause of
Iamo's downfall, is rescued from her prison by her lover.
Between them they have to solve the
mystery of who is allowing demons into the world of Men, and find a way to stop
them. Who can they trust in the chaotic world of pagan clans?
The author, Ailsa Abraham, knows
her subject well, having been a student of religions and a practising pagan most of
her life. Friend of Druids, Hedge-witches and other assorted magic-users, she is
the village shaman in her home.

Comments include :
Just the right mix of danger, mystery, history, a possible
future, and tastefully exciting romance. I want more of Iamo and Riga. I just
want more! :-)
The sequel to Alchemy
brings heroine and hero back together for another scrap amongst the
netherworld.
Fairly ripped through this cracking read, which for me indicates a winning combination of pace with great writing.
