In a village where the river remembers names and the soil listens, silence is never empty. Noziphozamandla (Gift of Power) returns home carrying a grief she does not yet understand-unaware that death has already crossed her path, that her bloodline hums with secrets older than language. At night, the drum begins to speak. Soft at first. Patient. Calling not to her ears, but to her spirit. Children chant where no children should be. Shadows move without bodies. And something small watches from the dark, waiting to be acknowledged. Rooted in South African ancestral lore and whispered truths of witchcraft, When the Drum Speaks is a slow-burning, unsettling journey into the unseen, where amadlozi (ancestors) walk beside the living, gifts are inherited in silence, and ignorance is the most dangerous curse of all. Some stories are read. Others are answered.

Witches of Auchi is woven around the exploits of a small coven of witches as they try to navigate life and the challenges it throws at them. Azekwoh is a writer-illustrator living in Lagos. Some of you may remember him from 2 years ago when we published his Fall of the Gods story series. He writes mostly fantasy inspired by African folklore and mythology.

Even if I have to do it with hooves. A comedy about writing, mythology, and fictional characters who refuse to follow the script.

Many years ago, ten dragons from different mythologies ruled the earth. Each had a fang that contained sacred powers which can be granted to anyone or anything of their choosing. However, they had to flee to different dimensions to escape a strange being named Sir Metallica. He managed to track down and kill all ten dragons, harvesting their fangs that contained the powers. His plans were soon foiled when a mysterious spaceship blasted his, creating a small hole. All of the fangs fell out and were scattered across Earth. Now, it is up to ten teenagers to find the fangs before Sir Metallica gets his hands on them. This is my first story I've ever done so bear with me on this one if there are a few too many mistakes. All the characters, the cover and storyline were made by me and as mentioned in the description the dragons are based off of mythologies from around the world. Hope y'all enjoy and feel free to leave constructive criticism in the comments. I would love to hear what you guys want me to edit and such.
