Syracuse, New York Nov 4, 2024 (Issuewire.com) - Maple Leaf Publishing is thrilled to present two compelling works by acclaimed author Margaret Donnelly at the New York Library Association (NYLA) trade fair. Join us at The Oncenter in Syracuse, New York for an enlightening experience with Bolívars Heart and The Path of Lord Jaguar, as we dive into stories that intertwine history, myth, and the quest for cultural identity.
A Dual Journey Through Time and Tradition
The Path of Lord Jaguar invites readers into the mystical world of Maya spirituality, where prayer man Pablo Balam learns that the ancient path known as kuxan sum is under threat. This energetic route, which connects the people of the Americas to the heavens, is safeguarded by Lord Jaguar. Alongside the powerful Nigerian priestess Kemi Adisa, Pablo must navigate a perilous quest to uncover dark forces determined to disrupt this sacred bond. The duo risks everything to restore the protective power of the nine Maya Underworlds and save countless lives from impending catastrophe.
In Bolívars Heart, Donnelly weaves a historical narrative around the folklore surrounding Simón Bolívars heart, exploring its profound cultural significance across Latin America. The story follows Isabel Condorcanqui, who, after a harrowing escape from smugglers, finds herself in a psychiatric ward in Dallas. As her attorney, Gloria García, attempts to unravel Isabels tale, they confront themes of identity, displacement, and the powerful legacy of Bolívar. This novel not only sheds light on historical events but also ties them to the pressing humanitarian and political issues of today.
