Ama Alchemy of Love
Book Description
In the bustling Portuguese colony of 17th century Macao, where East meets West in a dance of cultural transformation, an extraordinary tale of spiritual awakening unfolds. Ama Alchemy of Love weaves together the journeys of four remarkable souls navigating the crossroads of faith, philosophy, and inner discovery during the Age of Enlightenment.
At the heart of this historical novel stands Ama, an African priestess whose wisdom transcends cultural boundaries, alongside Ruben, a Portuguese Jesuit priest grappling with his mission in foreign lands. Their paths intertwine with Father Benedict, an Orthodox Christian from the Balkans, as they explore the rapidly evolving landscape of Macao through perspectives that shift from earthly to divine, from human consciousness to spiritual essence.

The narrative explores themes of inner alchemy and transformation, inviting readers to witness how different faith systems and philosophical approaches can illuminate the universal quest for understanding.
Through richly detailed historical settings and multifaceted characters, this novel offers readers a unique lens into the spiritual complexities of a pivotal moment in history, where diverse traditions converged and new forms of consciousness emerged from their intersection.
