Colonial Stories

Long before Jude was called Lord Pride, his family inherited an old lesson from the Prairie: the Horse runs from the burden, while the Ox carries it. Across three generations, a Farmer loses his Pride, a Shepherd sends his Pride, and finally a young Cowboy journeys east to find his own. That Cowboy enters an Empire built by conquest, slavery, rank, and the terrible will of men like Oswic the Great. There Jude becomes something the East does not quite know how to name-merchant, lord, liberator, conqueror, servant, beast-and begins gathering the unwanted people of the Land beneath his protection. Yet every victory raises the same question: whether a man can wield enormous power without becoming the kind of man who believes everything beneath that power belongs to him. Then he meets Gloria. A princess whose very name has become synonymous with the dignity of women who refuse to be possessed, Glory challenges Jude wherever his authority becomes too certain. He challenges the privilege that allows her own hands to remain clean. Together they cross a broken Land, confronting slavery, corruption, cowardice, marriage, loyalty, class, and the difference between protecting another person and claiming them. Their relationship becomes a demonstration before either of them fully understands what they are demonstrating: Pride learning to honor Glory without possessing her, and Glory learning to trust Pride without surrendering herself. Because this is not merely the story of Pride meeting Glory. It is the story of what happens when Pride earns Glory- and what happens when Glory becomes his Pride.

The princess is a sham. Everyone knows it. The gods have abandoned them. The royal family was the only connection to the gods until the usurper killed them. After overtaking him, the five surviving sorcerers reconnected the realm and brought security to it. Decades later, the Council has decreed his ways forbidden and anyone who attempts to learn them will be put to the sword. Genevieve Renwyck has one goal. The undercity trinketer has almost enough money to travel districts and find her siblings, but she's delayed by an assassination attempt against Princess Astherin. After being recruited to join the sorcery academy, she aims to distinguish herself and get access to all the perks that come with the job. That means joining the secret missions to the rebelling southern districts who sought the old ways and stop them before they gather support. As Genevieve discovers the ways of sorcery, she questions what her role will be, and if everything is as simple as she's told. Cover and banners by @Farleykins.

Young Stuart of colonial Philadelphia lost a leg as a boy. Living in interesting times, he had an interesting life.

The city pulses red, green, orange, then black - and so does Kuliwa's mind. Somewhere under the neon of Lusaka, 2102, a war rewired its soldiers instead of ending them. Kuliwa doesn't know what he lost, only that something's missing, and something else has taken its place. Every night the fragments come back wrong - fire, screaming, a brother he can't quite remember losing. Kojo was supposed to protect him. Then he was gone, swallowed by a program that turns people into weapons and calls it mercy. A year later, someone knocks on his door in his exact rhythm. In Neorhodesia, memory is a weapon, the past is classified, and the dead don't always stay that way.

"You're a fool for believing I could do a thing like this," Henry sneered. His black eyes flashed with rage. His words were laced with venom as he bore his teeth. "How dare you accuse me of such treason." "I am not a fool," she spat in reply. The sight was horrid. A nightmare. Blood spilled onto the marble beneath them, staining the bottoms of her stockings. "I know what I saw! You're an atrocious man, Henry Woodruff." She hiked up the hem of her dress and turned to leave, but Henry took hold of her waist and jerked her back. For as much as she fought to get away, he fought harder to keep her close to him. "Isabela," he pleaded. "Isabela, I love you." "Don't touch me!" ------------------------------------ Love is an overrated thing. That was what Isabela believed. Love was nothing more than a fable for toddlers to dream of; It was trivial. What a foolish thing to hope for. War. That was what she believed in. That was what shaped her life. It was real, and that was what she believed. It was tangible, it was gruesome, it was real. It was because of war that her uncle was never home. It was because of war that she was sent to from her home in Spain to live in the Colonies with a family of practical strangers. It was because of war that she detested love.

"The greatest threat to Africa may not be the enemy beyond its borders... but the hatred growing within them." Why do we mourn when the world humiliates Africa, yet remain silent when Africans humiliate Africans? How can we demand respect from the world while refusing to respect one another? How can we condemn slavery and colonialism, yet continue to spill the blood of our own brothers and sisters? Inspired by real events, this is more than a novel. It is a mirror. A wake-up call. A painful reminder that the greatest enemy of Africa may no longer be outside its borders, but within them. The truth hurts. But silence has hurt Africa even more.
