A fast-paced, evocative story! Great reading.
by Favour Ohakwe
Two grief-stricken teens must slay a trickster god to forge a wish-granting crown from its bones—but only one can claim its power. Obiageri, a fearless guardian, quests to resurrect her mother after undead spirits controlled by Ekwensu, the trickster god of war, decimate her village. She battles fanged vampires and breaches the underworld, her Lightbringer power growing. Chinua, a bookish Spiritwalker haunted by anxiety and his albinism, is prophesied to stop Ekwensu’s war from unraveling existence—but first, he must embrace his ability and face the trauma of his best friend’s murder. Together, they navigate a world of gods, talking animals, and dwarfs, their bond deepening as they confront an impossible truth: only one can wield the crown. Trusting each other might doom the souls they fight to save, with a world-ending war looming ever closer.

Tortoise, known for his cunning behaviour, hatches a clever plan to join a grand feast in the sky. But greed and trickery come with a price. A timeless African folktale of wit, consequences and culture.
