    - "Cinematic + Romantic + Ancestral" Nyah Freeman has always been sensitive to the unseen-dreams too vivid, coincidences too perfect, gut feelings too loud. But nothing prepares her for the morning she meets the man she's been dreaming of for months. Their hands brush. The lights flicker. The air hums like an ancient drum waking up. Kalen Ward is a stranger... yet somehow, her spirit knows him. What neither of them realize is that they are the last descendants of an ancient African tribe-warriors whose souls were bound together lifetimes ago to protect the world from a rising darkness. The ancestors have waited centuries for them to reunite. But destiny doesn't guarantee peace... and love doesn't guarantee safety. Because the force that destroyed their past lives is hunting them still- and if Nyah and Kalen don't unlock their shared power in time, the bond that brought them together may be the very thing that ends the world. A mystical Southern romance about soulmates, ancestry, and a love older than time itself.

    The flame has split. The flame has chosen. Zariah Baptiste is no longer just the heir of Nyah Sungbo or the keeper of ancestral fire-she is Nia'tari, the Flame That Chooses. But creation is never without consequence. As her power evolves, so too does the darkness that once slumbered beneath the earth. A new threat rises-Veyra, born from the fire Zariah tried to forget. She is vengeance without memory. A future corrupted before it could even begin. Across continents, names vanish from history. Elders fall silent. And deep in a salt-cracked temple, something older than gods watches with hunger in its golden eye. Now, Nia'tari must face the shadow of her own becoming, protect Ayika-the last Firstborn-and confront the cost of choosing creation over destruction. Because the fire no longer just remembers... It dreams. And dreams, once awakened, can burn the world clean.

    "Some children are born into destiny. Others are claimed by it." In a world where spirits walk beside the living and ancient power stirs beneath every whisper, Abeni is called. She never asked for the gift. She never asked to feel fire in her palms, to dream in languages the elders stopped speaking, or to be seen by the Orishas themselves. But when Ikoro, a vengeful spirit born of bitterness and silence, rises to twist truth and feed on forgotten fears, Abeni must become the fire. Trained by Sango, shielded by Osun, and haunted by visions of what's to come, Abeni must decide if she will rise-or vanish with the forgotten. But truth is a dangerous weapon. And not all spirits want to be remembered... Omo Ti Awo n Gbe - Child Carried by the Divine - is the first book in a West African fantasy series rooted in Yoruba cosmology, ancestral power, and a heroine's journey through shadow and spirit.

    The fire has chosen-but not everyone accepted its light. Nia'tari has claimed her name, fused her twin flames, and faced the shadow of what she could have been. But deep beneath the sands of Senegal, something stirs-something older than the Houses, untouched by bloodlines, and unbound by fire. When forgotten sigils rise from the earth and a lost faction of memorykeepers emerges, Nia'tari is thrust into a reckoning even she didn't foresee. These are not enemies born of hate. They are echoes born of refusal-those who said no to flame, no to lineage, no to the cost of power. Now, the girl who became the Flame That Chooses must face a history she never knew existed... and a truth that could unravel the world she's fought to save. Because not all ancestors burn. Some wait. And some... remember too well.
