The
Heart of the Caveat Whale is a story about an orphan named Shunda, a warrior
named Qoshonni and a prince named Mookori. In the first book, The Captives,
Shunda meets Mookori and befriends while he looks for other aquavians, those
who can live in water and on land. He learns that aquavians, human-like beings
that love peace, laughter and growing things, have been corrupted to fight for
the MerKing.
In
Book 2, Pyromarne, Shunda leaves his friend Mookori to find allies to help them
fight the MerKing. But the MerKing has a secret weapon no one anticipates.
These
books are filled with poetry and songs around the stories. Here is one of the
songs below:
A song from Pyromarne, book 2 of
The Heart of the Caveat Whale
I saw a goat float on a boat on
the river one fine spring morn.
I gave a sigh and plied for why a
goat should look so forlorn.
He said his date ate late: at
eight, and he could not wait around;
He had to eat a treat of wheat he
found on her family's ground.
The sire grew dire, his eyes
afire, his sweet wheat stolen, and how!
He chased the goat to the boat to
float on the river and made him vow:
To address this mess with
finesse, no less, and promise to bring some seed
To sow a row he'd never mow with
teeth so given to greed.
This goat, smitten and so love
bitten, did no less than what he was told,
And expressed remorse, or forced
his course, by bringing his love marigold.
