They watched him before they ever knew his name. In a world powered by Aether, Zion learned early that strength makes people afraid-and fear turns into control, suspicion, and silence. Labeled dangerous. Watched too closely. Judged before he speaks. But storms don't ask for permission. When Zion's hidden power awakens, it draws the attention of forces that want to use him-or erase him. As discrimination tightens its grip, Zion must choose between staying small to survive... or rising and becoming what the world fears most. High above the clouds, Amira of Solaira carries a different kind of power-warmth, fire, and hope. When their paths collide, storm and sun form the Dual Current, a force capable of restoring balance-or breaking the world apart.

It's exam time but feisty Nigerian Secondary School (High School) Senior, Maro has more things to worry about than being weak at Math when a special "thing" is stolen from her - the thing that protects her life as a supernatural being called an Abiku - a thing that she wants back so badly that she dangerously enlists the help of a reincarnated witch, a Deity and a... cobbler? "Abiku is a Yoruba word that can be translated as "predestined to death". It is from (abi) "that which possesses" and (iku) "death". Abiku refers to the spirits of children who die before reaching puberty; a child who dies before twelve years of age being called an Abiku, and the spirit, or spirits, who caused the death being also called Abiku." - Wikipedia Basis of Cover Art: Sit Haiiro(SIT)... http://www.kaifineart.com/2015/04/sit-haiirosit.html This story is also published (except for the final chapter) on my blog: https://indigofm.wordpress.com/

They said the old powers were just myths. They said the world belonged to men and politics and justice. But stories never die - they wait. Born into a modern world ruled by forgotten pacts and invisible hands, Orika's birth cracks open a silence that was never meant to break. She is no chosen one, no messiah. She is a mistake. A betrayal. A memory the world fought to erase. But she is awake. And remembering is dangerous.

"The key has been lost for centuries. If she doesn't find it, the realms will fall. And so will she." Dee never believed in destiny.

But when a forgotten keychain begins glowing in her hands, when dreams of a world beyond her own refuse to let her go, she is forced to face a truth buried in blood and time. She is the last of the Guardians. And she is being called home. Pulled into Zora, an ancient city hidden beyond the reaches of modern civilization, Dee discovers a lineage of warriors, priestesses, and lost gods, a people waiting for their savior. The key to restoring balance has been missing for centuries, and the shadows that once swallowed the world are rising again. But time is running out. With Ayọ̀, a warrior sworn to protect her, by her side, Dee must embrace a power she never asked for and retrieve the key before it falls into the wrong hands. Because if she fails-the realms will shatter. And so will she.

PHASE 2: THE KINDLING STORY 1: THE FIRST FORGING The world is running out of soul. When a young woman from the Beastwood discovers an ancient power buried beneath the earth, she becomes something the world was never meant to awaken. Esi is not a warrior. She is not chosen by prophecy. She is the Kindling - a living conduit capable of reigniting the forgotten SoulForge, the source of the world's lost spiritual energy. Guided by Amara, a scout who sees what others cannot, and protected by Chidi, a hardened survivor of a collapsing world, Esi is drawn deeper into a truth the Dominion has spent centuries burying. Samuel, a disgraced scholar marked by a mysterious Hollow Wound, knows what the Forge demands - and what it consumes. Beneath the Beastwood, seven obsidian stones drain lives to feed a dying system. Above ground, empires hunt power they barely understand. Reigniting the SoulForge will not save the world. It will change it. The First Forging is an adult AfroManga / AfroFuturist anime-inspired fantasy about power without permission, survival without heroism, and the cost of awakening something ancient in a world built on silence.

When strange markings appear in the forest, and her cousin Asia spots glowing eyes among the trees, Mya realizes she's not imagining things-she's being hunted... or summoned. A powerful bloodline. A forbidden transformation. A war between vampire wolves, witches, and a shapeshifter that can become anyone. To survive, Mya must awaken the power within her and face a truth that could tear her family apart-or make her a queen among monsters.

On a good night, The Wolf's Den was packed with patrons, the air thick with smoke, and her ears would ring letting her know that she would be in pain by the end of the night but her pockets would jingle with the coin of drunken sailors, knights, and the like.
