When Kunur dos Santos awoke from his all-too-real dream in a pool of fresh river water and a three-dimensional tattoo of a piranha on his hand, his search for understanding takes him to the world of Ibysytuba, where the sacred carambola starfruit opens his mind and spirit. A world where the myths and folklore of the Tupi Indians of Brazil are not fantasy but factual. Curupira, Yiara, and Saci guide Kunur on his journey to free the Tupinambá people from the tyranny of Yamimboîa, the Sorcerer King. Join Kunur as he learns the power of the elements of nature and develops his faith in Tupa, the Father-God of the Tupi Indian tribes and enslaved peoples of this new world. Travel with him across an alien landscape, yet a landscape reminiscent of the tropical jungles of Brazil. Discover the destiny Tupa has in store for Kunur as he walks the land of Ibysytuba. Will he find the power within him to defeat Yamimboîa? Immerse yourself in the legends of Brazilian folklore as through Kunur the powers of nature unite and the elements combine. S. E.
