Adventure Into the Unknown: Book Presentation - Passionate Nomads (La pasión de los nómades) by Argentinian author María Rosa Lojo November 17, 2011

Organized in collaboration with the Consulate General of Argentina in Chicago
Passionate Nomads follows Merlin the Magician and his ward, the fairy Rosaura dos Carballos, daughter of Morgan Le Fey, as they depart the Old World and set off on a journey through the modern Americas in search of the legendary Ranquel Indians. As they attempt to reconcile the past and the present, they encounter lost manuscripts and the ghosts of past adventurers.
