Africa Stories

In the ancient village of Amari, the forest is alive-and it watches. Spirits walk quietly among humans, choosing hosts not for strength, nor for goodness, but for necessity. Most are gentle. Some are wise. One, however, has not appeared in decades: the Leopard. When seventeen-year-old Princess Zaina survives an attack that should have killed her, the impossible begins to stir. Her senses sharpen. Her movements become faster, quieter. Her eyes glow in the dark. And in her dreams, she runs through the forest on four powerful legs. The elders know immediately: the Leopard has returned. But fear spreads faster than awe. The Leopard is not a symbol of protection-it is a symbol of power no one can control. The last host nearly destroyed Amari, and the villagers swore it would never rise again. Zaina is told to kneel, to obey, to suppress her gift. But the Leopard does not submit easily-and neither does she. As outsiders encroach on the sacred forest, threatening both humans and spirits, Zaina must learn to control her growing power before it consumes her. Every choice risks everything she loves, and every mistake blurs the line between girl and beast. In a world where balance is law and power is feared, Zaina must decide whether to bow-or to stand and let the Leopard walk openly once more.

"You're my hero, Superwoman," he said, his voice rough like gravel - like he wasn't used to saying anything soft. I smiled, his gaze steady as I tied the last strip of the bandage around his shoulder. "How come my superpowers don't work on you and me?" I asked, quietly, like it wasn't already eating me alive. He didn't flinch. "Maybe they don't work on people who already belong to you." His callused hand brushed my cheek. My chest ached. "Sukhala mama, ungowami wena." And the tears came. Because I'd asked him to fake love me. And now I didn't know where the lie ended and the truth began. He said "mama." inqondo yagoloza,intliziyo yavuma. (my brain said no, but my heart said yes) Ngewami Mamba is a force-an award-winning gynecologist, tech mogul, and humanitarian with a passport full of stamps and a bank account in pounds, not rands.

She was supposed to be first. The wife. The bride. The standard. Now, with the spotlight slipping and her ego bruised, Ngewami will stop at nothing to beat her sister to the altar-even if it means faking a relationship with the one kind of man she's always sworn off: A Zulu man. Sharp-tongued, emotionally armored, and unapologetically ambitious, Ngewami isn't looking for love-she's looking for a win. But love has a twisted sense of humor. And it just might be written in bold, bloody Zulu.

It's one of those somethings that have just been a little obvious since day one: that Jude belonged to Juno and Juno belonged to Jude. It didn't matter that the people around them constantly acted like pawns vying for either one of their attentions. Or that Jude's ideal way of showing he felt so strongly about Juno was not one she agreed with. It didn't even matter that where Jude was all chatty, outgoing and problematic to a fault, Juno was more reserved, timid and respectful. And it certainly didn't matter that since they met on their first day in junior school, they've been some sort of academic rivals, always fighting each other for first place or being forced to share it. No. It was just that something you glimpsed and then turned back to view and saw clear as day: that the Head Prefects, no matter how stubborn they were, how immature and childish and hurtful they were towards one another, there was just that for them. One another. ⋆˚꩜｡ Hephzibah ⋆˚꩜｡
