In a Kingdom Built on Secrets, Her Hidden Magic Could Destroy Everything.
A heart-pounding Yoruba inspired fantasy set in an epic world of courtly intrigue and forbidden power...
'Rich worldbuilding inspired by Yoruba mythology and a strong cast of characters. This debut fantasy shines as bright as the sun' L. R. LAM
In the Kingdom of Oru L'ore has a secret. She is the only one without agbára - the ability to harness power from the sun. On pain of death she must conceal it from everyone. Including her best friend, Alawani.
But when the gods declare Alawani an Àlùfáà High Priest - a great honour where he will serve the gods and the Kingdom - he must be stripped of his power in a brutal trial likely to kill him. Unwilling to bear his death, L'ore vows to rescue him.
When she desperately attempts to channel agbára an icy shadow magic instead pours from her hands; a power she learns originated from a forbidden, secret land beyond Oru.
In this place, she and Alawani must seek sanctuary from those pursuing them. But soon they will discover a secret that could bring the kingdom to its knees . . .
