The Keepers of Pinelands

By Etienne Lombard

The story follows Nick Uys, a hereditary guardian of an ancient power beneath Pinelands' garden city. When an archivist discovers plans revealing the suburb's true purpose, she uncovers a hidden world where forgotten waterways carry luminescent secrets and ancient gardens dream beneath modern streets.

The novel reimagines Cape Town's garden city heritage through magical realism, weaving together indigenous knowledge, local geography, and contemporary urban development. It would appeal to readers of Lauren Beukes while offering a distinctive Cape Town voice.
