Love or loyalty? Destiny hangs upon a single choice… Continue your epic adventure 40,000 years into our own dark and forgotten past with Daughter of Ninmah, Book 2 of The Ancestors Saga.

Living deep within the mysterious southern forests, the spiritual Ninkuraaja people are being hunted to the brink of extinction by bloodthirsty raiders known only as Woves.

Nobody knows better than a Ninkuraa that a Wove deserves only death.

But when a twist of fate places the life of an injured Wove into young Nyriaana’s hands, she is horrified to discover that the destiny of this most hated enemy is irrevocably tied to hers.

As their burgeoning relationship threatens to tear her whole life apart, Nyriaana comes to realise that she must face a terrible choice: sacrifice the Wove or betray the lives of her own dying people.

Will Nyriaana find the strength she needs to save her tribe? Or will her love for the Wove ultimately doom them all?

About the Author

An Interview with the author of The Ancestors Saga, Lori Holmes

What drove you to write The Ancestors Saga?
I have always loved fantasy and sci-fi, in reading, writing and in film. The story for my two main characters for the saga-main hit me about years ago and the world grew up around them. It just demanded to be told.

What is unique about The Ancestors Saga?
The Ancestors Saga takes readers into a visionary world that has been lost to the depths of time. It offers a glimpse of a world that might have been with a new fantastical edge. It explores where our own folklore, myths and legends may have arisen and what humanity might have become had circumstance allowed a different, more spiritual path.

What is the main driving force for the Saga?
I like my characters to be at the heart of the story, their journey is told directly from their own hearts and minds. I wish the reader to experience their hardships and struggles through their eyes alone. The driving force behind the whole story is the journey these characters embark upon.

Who would enjoy reading The Ancestors Saga?
This series is ideal for anyone above the age of 16 who enjoys epic fantasy, historical fiction, adventure and exploring our dark and forgotten past.

Growing up in England and having had a misspent youth devouring everything science fiction and fantasy, Lori enjoys reading and writing books that draw a reader into new and undiscovered worlds with characters that are hard to part with long after the journey comes to end.

Lori's debut novel, The Forbidden, begins the epic journey into the Ancestors Saga, combining history, mystery and legend to retell a lost chapter in humanity's dark and distant past.

When not lost in the world of The Ancestors Saga, Lori enjoys spending time with her family (2 twin boys, 2 whippets and her husband - it's a busy house!) usually outdoors walking and exploring the great British countryside.

I finished book 2 with mixed feelings.On one hand, the author has an incredible writing skill that pulls in the reader--book 1 was phenomenal-- Book 2 pulled me in too, However on the other hand, I did NOT like the main female character. At all.Im now reading book 3 and I hope there is a satisfying ending. The author has great writing skills, and I'm hoping for a great ending too.

Not what I was expecting when it began, but the story moved in a slow, steady progression. It was not slow in a boring kind of way; it was a deliberate, story-telling way. I love the tie to nature -- the personal bond to all life. It is worth contemplating in our own conection to the world around us and to each other.
Bring on book 3.

Intricately detailed, wrapping you up in a time and place of fantasy, war, heartache, and struggle. A new wave "Clan of the Cavebears". Could not stop reading this entire series. Each novel connected with the others and would have still been excellent stand alone books in and of themselves. You can't help being pulled into and fully immersed in these stories. A must read. Excellent and job well done Holmes!

What a way to end this part of the story. There is a tense buildup throughout this book, which has been crafted well by the author. The writing brings the story to life, where the reader can almost see, taste, and feel all that is happening. Great story. A good study also on the way beliefs and one’s spirituality shape lives and the world around them.
