Yeseni and the Daughter of Peace: Unbound Firsts 2023 Title

by Solange Burrell

Overview

The year is 1748. Elewa, known as ‘the Daughter of Peace’, bears a heavy responsibility on her young shoulders: to maintain the fragile truce between the warring peoples of her West African kingdom.

But as she begins to understand her role in the peace negotiations, even greater pressures emerge. Elewa discovers that she has Yeseni, a powerful gift that allows her to see events from any point in time, and to travel into the past and future.

When she experiences horrific visions of life aboard a slave ship, she realises she has to face the ultimate crossroads. She could use her gift to intervene in the past and try to prevent the transatlantic slave trade ever taking place. But that means she, as the Daughter of Peace, would be leaving her village behind at a precarious moment in the reconciliation process.

Whichever path she chooses to take, the future of her people lies on her shoulders.

About the Author

Solange Burrell grew up in Bristol and then moved to London to study journalism at university. She has worked in HR and as a building surveyor. She currently lives in Canada with her husband, and Yeseni and the Daughter of Peace is her first novel.

My name is Solange Burrell, I’m a Bristolian and I currently live in Canada, Niagara. I’ve always enjoyed writing, so I did my BA Honours degree in Journalism. I have worked in HR, as a Building Surveyor and as a Local Journalist, not to mention all the bar jobs, Call Centre jobs and Customer Service jobs, but whilst writing my debut novel, Yeseni&the Daughter of Peace, I felt like the most authentic version of me that I’ve been since Secondary School English Literature class. I also enjoy running, drawing and I’m learning to play the acoustic guitar.
