KShs500.00 KShs200.00

Nuria Ranking: #831 in Fiction and Non Fiction

Dive into a sprawling insect-scale epic fantasy perfect for readers of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time and the dystopian intrigue of Animal Farm. This is a tale of rebellion, conspiracy, and one unlikely hero’s fight for the truth. The setting is a fantasy world resonating with Rural Africa.

The Story

Ziggy is a worker in the massive Termite Mound, just a cog in a machine fueled by fear and rigid doctrine. For generations, the colony has survived by following one rule, stay in the dark and obey the Monarchy. But when the sky-monsters descend, shattering the fortress and leaving Ziggy’s home in ruins, he realizes a terrible truth. The leadership keeps its people obedient, but it is failing to protect them.

And when Ziggy suggests a desperate alliance with the Ant Kingdom, his idea is rejected. Permission to visit is denied. He goes anyway, defying their orders, and his own people brand him a traitor. During his visit to the Ant Kingdom, he narrowly escapes a poisoned cup and a brutal execution. Now a fugitive with a limp and a target on his back, Ziggy is thrust into the World of the Small, a terrifying landscape where every shadow hides a predator, and old grudges run deeper than the tunnels.

From the treacherous Ant Citadel to the bone-crushing hunting grounds of the Rooster, Ziggy must evolve from a peaceful worker into a master strategist. With the help of an unlikely ally, an ant from the rival kingdom named Henry, he uncovers a shocking secret. They discover a way to exploit the giants’ greatest weakness by attacking their feet, a weapon that could ground them forever.

But the clock is ticking. To save a colony that has already condemned him, Ziggy must return to the heart of the corruption, expose a centuries-old conspiracy, and lead a revolution against a ruthless Monarchy. Ziggy once believed diplomacy could save the Mound. He was wrong. It wasn’t peace, as he had dreamt, but survival, in a war. To save his world, he’ll have to be both clever and ready to fight their enemies.

Description

When the MC chose to burn the stillness he betrays the Monarchy to Save the Colony.

Dive into a dystopian insect world…

The story

Ziggy was just a worker. A cog in a fortress built on fear, obedience, and one rule: stay in the dark.

Then the sky-monsters came.

When the Termite Mound shatters, Ziggy sees the truth his leaders hide: obedience won’t save them. Defying orders, he risks everything for an alliance with the Ant Kingdom. His reward? A poisoned cup, a death sentence, and the brand of traitor.

Now limping, hunted, and thrust into the World of the Small, Ziggy must evolve from laborer to strategist. With Henry, an outcast ant from a rival kingdom, he uncovers a shocking secret – a way to attack the giants’ greatest weakness: their feet.

But to save a colony that condemned him, Ziggy must return to the heart of corruption, expose a centuries-old conspiracy, and lead a revolution.

Inspired by Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time and the dystopian bite of Animal Farm, this is an insect-scale epic fantasy set in a world that echoes Rural Africa. For readers who want rebellion, conspiracy, and heroes forged in dirt and war.

Ziggy dreamed of peace. He was wrong because this is survival.

The King’s Curse

,
KShs899.00 KShs855.00
The final novel in the Cousins’ War series, the basis for the critically acclaimed Starz miniseries, The White Queen, by #1 New York Times bestselling author and "the queen of royal fiction” (USA TODAY) Philippa Gregory tells the fascinating story of Margaret Pole, cousin to the "White Princess,” Elizabeth of York, and lady-in-waiting to Katherine of Aragon. Regarded as yet another threat to the volatile King Henry VII’s claim to the throne, Margaret Pole, cousin to Elizabeth of York (known as the White Princess) and daughter of George, Duke of Clarence, is married off to a steady and kind Lancaster supporter—Sir Richard Pole. For his loyalty, Sir Richard is entrusted with the governorship of Wales, but Margaret’s contented daily life is changed forever with the arrival of Arthur, the young Prince of Wales, and his beautiful bride, Katherine of Aragon. Margaret soon becomes a trusted advisor and friend to the honeymooning couple, hiding her own royal connections in service to the Tudors. After the sudden death of Prince Arthur, Katherine leaves for London a widow, and fulfills her deathbed promise to her husband by marrying his brother, Henry VIII. Margaret’s world is turned upside down by the surprising summons to court, where she becomes the chief lady-in-waiting to Queen Katherine. But this charmed life of the wealthiest and "holiest” woman in England lasts only until the rise of Anne Boleyn, and the dramatic deterioration of the Tudor court. Margaret has to choose whether her allegiance is to the increasingly tyrannical king, or to her beloved queen; to the religion she loves or the theology which serves the new masters. Caught between the old world and the new, Margaret Pole has to find her own way as she carries the knowledge of an old curse on all the Tudors." " ISBN:2147483647 Author:Philippa Gregory

The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert

,
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,890.00
In The Signature of All Things, Elizabeth Gilbert returns to fiction, inserting her inimitable voice into an enthralling story of love, adventure and discovery. Spanning much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the novel follows the fortunes of the extraordinary Whittaker family as led by the enterprising Henry Whittaker—a poor-born Englishman who makes a great fortune in the South American quinine trade, eventually becoming the richest man in Philadelphia. Born in 1800, Henry's brilliant daughter, Alma (who inherits both her father's money and his mind), ultimately becomes a botanist of considerable gifts herself. As Alma's research takes her deeper into the mysteries of evolution, she falls in love with a man named Ambrose Pike who makes incomparable paintings of orchids and who draws her in the exact opposite direction — into the realm of the spiritual, the divine, and the magical. Alma is a clear-minded scientist; Ambrose a utopian artist — but what unites this unlikely couple is a desperate need to understand the workings of this world and the mechanisms behind all life. Exquisitely researched and told at a galloping pace, The Signature of All Things soars across the globe—from London to Peru to Philadelphia to Tahiti to Amsterdam, and beyond. Along the way, the story is peopled with unforgettable characters: missionaries, abolitionists, adventurers, astronomers, sea captains, geniuses, and the quite mad. But most memorable of all, it is the story of Alma Whittaker, who — born in the Age of Enlightenment, but living well into the Industrial Revolution — bears witness to that extraordinary moment in human history when all the old assumptions about science, religion, commerce, and class were exploding into dangerous new ideas. Written in the bold, questing spirit of that singular time, Gilbert's wise, deep, and spellbinding tale is certain to capture the hearts and minds of readers

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

,
KShs2,000.00 KShs1,790.00
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein when she was only eighteen. At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering the cause of generation and life and bestowing animation upon lifeless matter, Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts but; upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness. Tormented by isolation and loneliness, the once-innocent creature turns to evil and unleashes a campaign of murderous revenge against his creator, Frankenstein. Frankenstein, an instant bestseller and an important ancestor of both the horror and science fiction genres, not only tells a terrifying story, but also raises profound, disturbing questions about the very nature of life and the place of humankind within the cosmos: What does it mean to be human? What responsibilities do we have to each other? How far can we go in tampering with Nature? In our age, filled with news of organ donation genetic engineering, and bio-terrorism, these questions are more relevant than ever.

Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens

,
KShs1,200.00 KShs990.00
Brief Summary The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters — the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, in Oliver Twist Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery. This is the first critical edition to use the serial text of 1837-9, presenting Oliver Twist as it appeared to its earliest readers. It includes Dickens's 1841 introduction and 1850 preface, the original illustrations and a glossary of contemporary slang.

But so do many dangerous people. Soon the Fargos find themselves on the run through jungles, temples, and secret tombs, caught among treasure-hunters, crime cartels, and those with a far more personal motivation for stopping them. The solution to a thousand-year-old mystery awaits them at the end of the chase—if they manage to survive it. ISBN:2147483647 Author:Clive Cussler, Russell Blake

The Solomon Curse

There are many rumors about the bay off Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Some say it was the site of the lost empire of the Solomon king and that great treasure lies beneath the waters.

Clues and whispers lead them on a hunt from the Solomons to Australia to Japan, and what they find at the end of the trail is both wonderful and monstrous—and like nothing they have ever seen before.

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

,
KShs1,890.00 KShs1,690.00
The first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them." Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with "cynical adolescent." Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he's been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists. His constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies (the two of course are not mutually exclusive) capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation."

The most popular pirate story ever written in English, featuring one of literature’s most beloved "bad guys,” Treasure Island has been happily devoured by several generations of boys—and girls—and grownups. Its unforgettable characters include: young Jim Hawkins, who finds himself owner of a map to Treasure Island, where the fabled pirate booty is buried; honest Captain Smollett, heroic Dr. Livesey, and the good-hearted but obtuse Squire Trelawney, who help Jim on his quest for the treasure; the frightening Blind Pew, double-dealing Israel Hands, and seemingly mad Ben Gunn, buccaneers of varying shades of menace; and, of course, garrulous, affable, ambiguous Long John Silver, who is one moment a friendly, laughing, one-legged sea-cook . . .and the next a dangerous pirate leader!The unexpected and complex relationship that develops between Silver and Jim helps transform what seems at first to be a simple, rip-roaring adventure story into a deeply moving study of a boy’s growth into manhood, as he learns hard lessons about friendship, loyalty, courage and honor—and the uncertain meaning of good and evil.

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City, and a package of forged documents goes missing.

A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage. There’s just one more step needed to complete this perfect plan…the elimination of the president of the United States. ISBN:2147483647 Author:Mark Greaney
