Shadow over Table Mountain

The Orora - the morning light, has been predicted to make a return in her people’s darkest hour. She would return when her people were down in the abyss and on the edge of being wiped out.

Lakisha’s aunts told her since she was a young child, that she is that morning light. The young girl simply could not believe that. Her whole life long she prepared to become a fashion designer. She was now at the gate of that dream of hers. She only needed to write her final examination and then she could start building her designing business out into the international powerhouse she wanted it to be.

“Aside from the fact that I’m a young girl, I’m not even interested in politics. Sure, I can see what is happening in the country - but really. Be realistic. What can I possibly do about it, even if I was interested in stuff like that? The government is protected by big business, by the UN, by the Chinese government and who knows whom else. Anyone who has even a little success in fighting the government will immediately be neutralized by these other, far more powerful entities. There is no hope and it would be a hopeless battle.”

However, destiny does not care about the reality around its chosen champion. Destiny’s hero always works on a level way above the real world. This is what Lakisha would soon learn. Her best friend is killed by the corrupt police and she ends up in a jail cell. From that point onwards, things start moving at a breakneck speed. The young girl finally embraces her destiny and the morning light comes alive, setting the world on fire.

If you like a story that moves at break neck speed, filled with violent action and political intrigue, then this is the book for you.
