"Na sociedade do período do açúcar, a casa-grande era a residência do senhor de engenho. Seu conforto contrastava de modo gritante com a miséria e as péssimas condições de higiene das senzalas, onde moravam os escravos. O tratamento dado a eles era cruel, envolvendo castigos sangrentos, ataques sexuais e dolorosas explorações físicas e mentais. Afinal, eles não passavam de semoventes – criaturas que se moviam por si, como os cavalos, as vacas e os cachorros da fazenda. E que podiam ser vendidos, trocados, emprestados ou doados, como qualquer outro animal na posse do senhor branco.é contra essa estrutura odiosa que se ergue dandara dos palmares, guerreira e companheira de zumbi, que luta à frente das formações de palmarinos dispostos a reconquistar a liberdade de a dignidade para si e para seus irmãos escravizados. As lendas de dandara é um romance apaixonado e apaixonante, que conquista o leitor desde a primeira página e ajuda a preencher lacunas de uma história do brasil que nunca foi bem contada."
