Afro-fantasy Stories

When Nigerian born, American raised Ninni Soobili takes a trip to Lagos to visit her ill grandmother, she learns of an ancient family secrete that forever altered her life. With the awakening of an ancient evil spirit, Ninni will have to rely on her newly discovered knowledge to save her people. With the faith of an entire people resting on her shoulders, Ninni has very little time to rediscover the powers hidden within her roots.

The first part of a short story based in African mysticism and folklore, this tale follows the journey of a young girl as she finds herself. Unabashedly a children's story, themes of scars--physical and emotional--can resonate with readers of all ages. Note from the author: this was one of my first longer pieces of work and was created mostly for a light, unique read.
