Oliver Sparrow announced that his novel Dark Sun, Bright Moon is now available for sale on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. In it, he explores a nation and people he studied during his time in Peru, transforming his travels and extensive research in the Peruvian jungle into a fictional novel about the same land a thousand years ago.
"Dark Sun, Bright Moon describes people isolated in the Andes, without the least notion of outsiders. They evolve an understanding of the universe that is complementary to our own but a great deal wider. The book explores events of a thousand years ago, events which fit with what we know of the region's history," says Sparrow.
In the Andes of a thousand years ago, the Huari empire is sick. Its communities are being eaten from within by a plague, a contagion that is not of the body but of something far deeper, a plague that has taken their collective spirit.
