Wo-Sak, The Frog God

PLEASE NOTE: Only the Kindle version is fully illustrated. All illustrations will be available on the website. Meanwhile readers are encouraged to enjoy all the illustrations on the Kindle version. In Victorian London an ancient Mayan Priest stands under the arches of the London Necropolis Railway Station. Why has his God, Wo-Sak, brought him here? This dark legend tells of Gamboa, a young boy who, guided by the Gods, introduces human sacrifice to his ancient tribe. Through accident and divine intervention, he transcends time and gets caught up in a celestial conflict between good and evil. He searches his soul and finds himself questioning his ancient beliefs. Wo-Sak, The Frog God introduces a conflicted, yet magnificent new kind of hero for the twenty-first century. Epic and suspenseful, this adult fairy-tale crosses boundaries, and goes to the heart of several issues: ritual human sacrifice, life after death and religious fanaticism. Allegory, parable and fable, the tale is a heady reminder that religion is cyclical, rarely original and deadly ruthless when faith and belief collide with humanity’s desperation for everlasting life. With over 40 full colour illustrations designed by the author, Wo-Sak, The Frog God is an innovative novel allowing readers access to the details of all images, and the opportunity to download skeleton drawings for personal colouring and development.
