The Dutch East India Company is in the throes of expansion. They
are seeking gold, treasure, land to conquer and an easy passage to
South America. Still in thrall to the invisible Hand of his
Overlord, the long lived vampire entity is compelled to find new
skin. And he does exactly that.
This is another chapter in the entity's evolution toward the
light. And he finds himself suddenly in the guise of Abel Tasman,
Master Commander and brave explorer, who becomes the first European
to espy the sites of Van Diemen's Land, eventually Tasmania, and of
New Zealand. It is sixteen hundred and forty two and white man's
expansion is in full throttle.
Much of this book, as with the others of the Entity Saga, rides
true facts and historical details of the early European discovery
in the South Seas. In this book, uncover the oft en calamitous
influence of white colonialism on the indigenous peoples. Be also
exposed to the early myths and cultures of the Maori and the
Moriori. And why the Moriori went into near absolute decline. And
discover the nature of cannibalism as it was practiced then.
The story that merges with the fact of history is vast. The
characters encounter pirates, sharks, native resistance and a demon
who challenges the ultimate power of the entity. The whirlwind
story is compelling and captivating.
The romance of the virgin territory, the vital history and the
erotic permutations of the characters will put a spell on you. Once
that spell has you almost within its grasp...
It is at that moment to let this tale sink its fangs into your
most vulnerable parts.
