Alexandra Lucas Coelho - A Nossa Alegria Chegou

The evil of everywhere is in Alendabar, the evil of Alendabar is everywhere. But Ira, Ossi, and Aurora believe that good lies in the struggle.

Three young friends, Ira, Ossi, and Aurora, join in a pact: to stage a revolution in Alendabar, the place where they live, on the first day of Autumn. On that day, a woman from the other side of the world arrives in Alendabar with her husband's ashes, bringing their son. And, on the same day, the owner of all the surrounding lands, known as the King, receives a guest from the East. The destinies of all will intertwine during the twelve hours of light of this equinox.

In "Our Joy Has Arrived," Alexandra Lucas Coelho creates for the first time a place, with its fauna, its flora, and what remains of a lost language. There are ancient gods, servants, pyramids. There are also helicopters, serial killings, artificial intelligence. We don't know in what year the story takes place, nor in what part of the Earth.
