Publisher's summary
Medalist 2019 Florida Authors and publishers Association President's Book Awards.
This is an abridged edition of Ansgar: The Struggle of a People. The Triumph of the Heart. (Part I of the Windflower Saga trilogy) by Aleksandra Layland. Abridged by the author herself, it provides a shorter version of the novel to appeal to a wider range of both adult and young adult readers. The Windflower Saga trilogy is set in a time not now and in a world not of our own. It tells the story of Ansgar, his indigenous wife Keholani, and their mixed-race descendants.
Part I (Ansgar) is the story of the founding of the family in their secret homeland. A hundred years after the colonial wars, Kimbria is finally a unified kingdom but with residual laws and attitudes of a racist nature towards the indigenous people called the Kimbrii. A young man, dressed only in the robe of a monk, wanders alone in the southern Wastelands, searching for the remnants of the Kimbrii, whose culture is on the brink of extinction. He’s come to help them, but instead finds himself near death until he opens his eyes and sees her… a woman unlike any he’s ever seen before... a clan chief and leader of her people. She’ll save him from death and quietly captivate his heart. He’ll defy the conventions of the time and marry her, revealing his true identity, and founding a family that will change the future of Kimbria forever.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,656
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.
