THE CURSE OF THE AFRICAN CUPIDS
Set in a divided city struggling with deep racial tensions, the story follows Kofi, a young Black man from a marginalized community, as he discovers the brutal history of his ancestors' fight against systemic oppression. His family's history is filled with stories of resistance, survival, and sacrifice, but also violence-both experienced and perpetrated. Kofi is forced to confront these painful truths as he embarks on a journey to understand the forces that have shaped his world. Along the way, he crosses paths with Lena, a White woman from a privileged background who, upon learning about her own family's involvement in the oppressive systems of the past, starts questioning her role in perpetuating inequality. Despite their differences, Kofi and Lena begin to work together, uncovering hidden truths about the city's past and the violent conflicts that have defined it. As the two of them get closer to exposing a conspiracy that has kept the racial divide intact, they are forced to navigate escalating violence from both sides-those fighting for change and those desperately trying to maintain the status quo. The city's streets become a battleground, with riots, protests, and acts of terror shaking the foundation of society. In the midst of all this, Kofi and Lena must face not only the physical violence around them but also the psychological toll that the history of oppression takes on their minds and spirits. The story explores the cyclical nature of violence, the need for justice, and the human cost of conflict. As the narrative unfolds, the question becomes not just how to survive, but how to break the cycle of violence and move toward a future where peace is possible.Complete
Whiteface
A city gleaming in gold...and dripping with blood. //// Jacquarious Whelan liked his old school, but his parents didn't. Fed up with the violence and drug arrests erupting within the Browning Heights educational district, Pierre and LaKwesha enroll their son in Goldengate Academy, an idyllic campus filled to the brim with fair skin and wealthy pockets. Fearless to defy the expectations of the his familial circle's more derisive members, Jacquarious soars amid this new environment. He makes his mark quickly as both a talented sportsman and a budding essayist, impressing his doting English teacher so thoroughly that she nets him a position writing for her husband's national news column. Championing the causes of the oppressed and the socially downtrodden, Jacquarious dons the moniker Whiteface as he assumes the tentative mantle of bringing present-day injustice to light through gripping headlines and scathing editorials. But not all eyes in his new and glinting community look on with approval at the pseudonymous writer's meteoric rise to stardom. As a string of increasingly racially motivated crimes breaks out, bearing the mark of a killer eerily familiar with secrets far too intimate for Jacquarious to ignore, the members of a cookie-crusted city smothered in endless cream find themselves in the midst of a horror too terrifying for words, a reckoning near unfathomable, a nightmare drenched in blood...blood that may well be Jacquiarious's very own.
