THE BEAST'S MANDATE : LOVE Love was never meant to find him. And yet-it did. Something older stirs beneath his skin. Something that remembers oaths sworn long before his birth... and a power that was never meant to sleep. When a woman enters his carefully controlled world, desire becomes dangerous. She asks the wrong questions. She awakens buried instincts. And without knowing it, she steps into a legacy written in blood, claws, and ancient law. Because love is innocent until its not. As past and present begin to collide, the line between man and beast, loyalty and hunger, choice and destiny starts to blur.

From cliffside villages to lost cities buried in silence, a new kind of fire begins to spread-one that remembers everything. One that refuses to be erased. She is not the end.

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.

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/

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.

But when her growing powers awaken a forgotten entity known only as the Hollow Crown, Ayana realizes she's not just a bearer of magic-she's a key. And something is watching her. The door has opened. What walks through will either heal the world-or hollow it. Powerful, poetic, and rooted in Black ancestral mysticism, The Obsidian Mark is a lush fantasy about identity, legacy, and the cost of awakening.
