The Seed of Cain (The Record Keeper #2)
Return to the startlingly original dystopian world of The Record Keeper in this stunning sequel. Join Arika Cobane as she continues her fight for freedom.
General Arika Cobane, beloved leader of the worker rebellion, makes a bold — but illegal — move to ensure the people’s freedom. When her scheme fails and her co-conspirator hangs for treason, Arika — overworked and overwrought — blacks out. When she awakens, everything has changed.
She’s been stripped of her rank and power and the new leader of the Kongo, Kira Swan, is a charismatic traitor bent on consigning the Kongo under the guise of peace.
Desperate, Arika reunites with Hosea Kahn and seeks treatment for her blackouts at the Compound, deep in the deadly Obi forest. Arika is determined to regain her influence, stop Kira Swan, and continue leading the Kongo to freedom, but time is running out and she’s still ill. Control is slipping from her fingers.
When a new source of strength presents itself, an ancient authority reserved for the One destined to save the Kongo, Arika gives up everything, including Hosea Khan, to grasp the power, but — all alone, and sick and tired — can she muster the will to hold it?

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
