In the world of wonders exists a land known as Baruun... In the years following a calamity known by many names, the land of the felines known as Dásos, the realm of the Eternal Jungle, has become a target of the Prodavian Empire, who seek to use the land for their own purposes. Many have been taken into enslavement, working fields that now feed the ape-men of Prodavus, and ten years after the calamity they continue to toil for them. All but one defiant soul. A young panther woman will defy her oppressors, renew the spirits of her people and step forth into a world that is rapidly mutating beyond the recognition of its inhabitants. Rising from a simple huntress to a survivor of horrors that mold the future of the continent, the name of this brave youth will be burned into the minds of the Baruun people, as she forges her own path... This story contains a same sex relationship, anthropomorphic characters, and several dark tones and implications that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

In 1889, Broken Shackles was published in Toronto under the pseudonym of Glenelg. This very unique book, containing the recollections of a resident of Owen Sound, Ontario, an African American known as Old Man Henson, was one of the very few books that documented the journey to Canada from the perspective of a person of African descent. Now, over 112 years later, a new edition of Broken Shackles is available. Henson was a great storyteller, and the spark of life shines through as he describes the horrors of slavery and his goal of escaping its tenacious hold. His time as a slave in Maryland, his refuge in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and his ultimate freedom in Canada are vividly depicted through his remembrances. The stories of Henson’s family, friends, and enemies will both amuse and shock the readers of Broken Shackles: Old Man Henson — From Slavery to Freedom. It is interesting to discover that his observations of life’s struggles and triumphs are as relevant today as they were in his time.
