She will breathe a new empire into life but all worlds can escape their creator Full of adventure A celebration of the power of storytelling GUARDIANIn the wake of an unimportant battle between two long-forgotten kingdoms, a nine-year-old girl has a divine encounter that will change the course of history. Pampa Kampana becomes a vessel for a goddess, who tells her that she will be instrumental in the rise of a great city called Bisnaga, victory city .Over the next two hundred and fifty years, Pampa Kampana s life becomes deeply interwoven with Bisnaga s as she attempts to make good on the task that the goddess set for her: to give women equal agency in a patriarchal world. But all stories have a way of getting away from their creator, and Bisnaga is no exception.
