Early ReviewersAinika Kambo

An inescapable fate. A path to survival. A path to freedom.

*****

Magic is restricted for 16-year-old Khora, detection spells doom for her. Born a slave with one singular purpose: bow to the whims of the Mali Empire or get crushed.

But now she's tired of bowing, having every choice taken away. It's time to take it back. Even if it means joining a dying rebellion that will ask more than she's ready to give, with everything on the line she's ready to take on centuries' old dark magic and tyranny with no light at the end.

For fans of Into the Badlands and Avatar: The Last Air Bender

*****

When Kamili defied the horn-law and saved her fellow hunters' lives. Instead of the hefty punishment she expects she's sent on a lethal, harrowing odyssey to deliver a sacred weapon as penance for her crime. Soon she finds the very reason she's sent out into the bleak, crumbling world, and she must unravel threads of a conspiracy that spans centuries... Or end up losing everything she holds dear.
