THE FOUNDING OF THE KINGDOM

Long before kings ruled the highlands of Nubara, twelve tribes lived in fractured peace - each guarding their borders, their languages, and their grudges. But when visions stir in the hills of Timbo, one boy is chosen not by sword or crown, but by a voice in the wind.
Jekai, son of a wandering mother and a philosopher father, is no warrior. Yet with his shepherd's staff and the guidance of Imam Siaka Turay, he calls the scattered tribes to unity. At his side stands Maisee Dukuly, peace broker of the Mandingo, and Nyany Gray, the fearsome Loma warrior who trusts no throne.
But in the shadows, betrayal sharpens its blade.
As griots sing of kingdoms that never were, and drums fall silent in sacred cities, the future of a land depends on whether twelve ancient peoples can learn to become one kingdom - or fall as twelve graves.
A sweeping African epic told in the language of the ancestors.

Fall From Divinity
Sixty thousand years ago, the Gods waged war upon humanity-and won. From the corpses of the fallen Titans, five empires rose, carved from divine ruin: the Empire of the Rising Sun, the Dragon Empire, the Roman Dominion, Afri Terra, and the cursed land of Erevalon. Humanity was left shattered, bound by divine fear. Yet from their ashes, a new power emerged-Aura Cultivation, the art of defying heaven itself. Now, centuries later, peace is only an illusion. When a young hero-in-training, Jin, wakes to another day of exhausting drills and impossible destiny, he never expects that his next mission will lead him into the Akamizu Woods-the very ground where gods once fell. A mission that begins as a simple hunt... will soon unravel secrets that were buried since the fall of divinity itself. Because some legends were never meant to die. And some heroes... were never meant to rise. Will the gods rise again? Will the wielder of the Seed of Destiny break the chains of fate-or be consumed by it? When divinity falls... who will rise from the ashes?
