Two fantastic tales from the world of Ki Khanga by Master Griot Balogun Ojetade!
In The Turning of the Bones, Etse, a young noble of the nation of Asanteman, is carefree and careless but he is forced to change when death – in the form of Gnaw Maws – begin to plague his country and take friend, family and foe.
Shackle and Bones tells the tale of Aya, who has spent eighteen years learning one lesson: in Timbuktu, the poor exist only to serve the powerful. Beaten by the woman who should have loved her, forbidden to pursue her dream of becoming a warrior, and surrounded by a monarchy that treats commoners as disposable, she has learned to keep her head down—even while her heart burns for revolution. Everything changes during the Kehleh Seli, the Festival of Combat.
