A powerful work of imagination and historical reflection, Kingdoms of Desire transports readers to the dawn of the 19th century, unfolding a tale of passion, identity, and destiny that traverses continents and empires. The novel follows Gysbert van Laan, a young man born into mystery, tragedy, and privilege, whose journey from slavery to nobility collides with the tumultuous politics of the Napoleonic era and the reign of King George III.

Blending the grandeur of classic European literature with the tension of a psychological thriller, Zamalea constructs a vivid world where power, faith, and love are interwoven with betrayal and vengeance. From the plantations of Virginia to the royal courts of England and France, Kingdoms of Desire captures the restless spirit of a man determined to uncover the truth about his family, his birth, and his destiny.

Its a book of memory and justice, says Zamalea. I wanted to explore the ways history shapes desire and how desire, in turn, rewrites history.
