The Lightgliders Origins saga continues with the story of a strong-willed teenager who wants to save her tribe from violence and restore peace, but instead finds herself in the land of Glideon.
Tanganyika, Africa, 1896
As long as she’s been alive, Tambika’s tribe, the Hehe, has lived in conflict. She longs to be a leader who stands up for her people, but her desire for vengeance endangers her destiny. When Tambika and her friends break into the German armory to take back their tribe’s silver, she attacks a young soldier and flees the scene.
As she escapes into the bush, Tambika sees a cosmic light that fills the sky and transports her to another realm, the land of Glideon. She discovers an old journal with clues that lead her to an abandoned training facility, where her purpose in Glideon is revealed. She has been chosen to resurrect Lightglider Academy and to equip teenagers from all over the world to rescue Gliddles and restore the land. She must first locate the Shield of Wisdom, a crucial component of the Armor of Light, which will empower the next generation of Lightgliders.
Through the Lightglider Origin series, readers will be awakened to the truth that whenever darkness comes, they were made to shine!
