Bayou mga kuwento

In Greytown, nothing is ever black and white. Made up of six districts, The Grey Bayou has always been a place where evil runs rampant and citizens find themselves deprived of justice. And no one knows that better than Kenya Manefield and his family. Returning home from college, Kenya seeks to make things better for his hometown and for those closest to him. He soon finds out, however, that cleaning up his city is a tall order. One that consists of rooting out political corruption, facing sociopathic criminals, and discovering mysteries that are deep-seeded in Greytown AND his family's history. Before he can get any traction going in his mission, Kenya winds up realizing-with almost at a great cost to his life-that conventional methods won't work against the sinister kingpin of Greytown who calls himself The Orca. In order to win, he'll have to take on a more radical approach. One that will catapult him into the realm of the animal kingdom-giving birth to a new superhero-and forever changing Kenya's world as he knows it. For Kenya's father Malcolm, he's been a witness to a mission like this once before, and has no intentions of seeing a second act. But knowing his son, Malcolm won't have a choice but to aid Kenya along the way to keep him alive. Join the highly talented author JOSH HOLSTON on this YA fantasy as he brings forth a new world filled with fantastic characters facing real-life issues that the black culture endures everyday.

Morgan has spent her life imprisoned in a shrine high on the banks of the bayou, where everyone is constantly aware of her presence, but no one has ever actually spoken to her. She is god, just as her Mother was before her, and she'll stay that way until she gives birth to the next living god. But the job comes with little power beyond the ability to sense the emotions of others-certainly nothing her worshippers would find worth all their sacrifices, if they knew. Until one day, the villagers bring her a badly injured boy to receive last rites. Tired of being worthless and alone, Morgan decides to do something worthwhile for once revive him. To her own surprise, she succeeds, but he's not whole and hearty. The boy is alive, locked in the agonizing moment of his death. As her newfound power grows, Morgan finally gets what she's always wanted-a life outside the shrine. If only she can shake the angry mobs hunting her, and figure out how to restore death before the village is over-run with the animated corpses of its loved ones.

While an altercation with a group of young white racists leaves her for dead in an old cemetery by the city's bayou, and her aunt begs the spirits of their ancestors for help, Baron Samedi refuses to dig her grave. The case is quickly dismissed by an understaffed police force reluctant to spend more time on this "incident." No evidence, no leads. She'll be more careful next time. But the protective loas of the cemetery, witnesses to the scene, demand compensation. And the gods has nothing to do with human justice.
