Swahili and Somali legends come to life in this tale of secrets, betrayal and a household pet or two with a desire for human flesh. In the Malifedha family, the secrets that don't break them make their bond stronger; which is just as well because they've been sitting on a showstopper. Eighteen years into making their demonic masterpiece, and everything seems to be going just peachy. But when an old friend out for revenge gets on their trail, the family is in trouble. Demons from Mother Malifedha's past (yes, literal ones) strengthen Warsame's investigation and the stress sends Father Malifedha into a spiral. Seeing that things are beginning to unravel, Akiba Malifedha steps up to hold it all together. But as the battle to keep Warsame from shattering her family intensifies and her actions become more desperate, Akiba is faced with a terrible choice. Losing her family forever or selling her soul to darkness. Updates every Friday EAT.
