Duppy Rising: The Chronicles Of Niyamland

By Daniel Emanuel Whyte

The dead are pushing through the Veil. Someone on the other side has been doing it deliberately for a hundred years.
Zara Cross is a Salt-Warden. Every morning before dawn she walks the salt flat at the edge of Crossend, checking the ward-lines that hold back the Duppy Realm - the world of the restless dead that runs beneath the living world like a second skin. She is good at her work. She counts the good days. She does not think about the dreams.
When three letters arrive from three different nations, and her ward-lines start failing in ways she has no category for, Zara can no longer pretend she is ordinary. She is the only person alive who can cross the Veil between the living and the dead - and come back. Every faction in both worlds has a plan for what she should do with that.
She has her own ideas.
Set in a world rooted in Jamaican folklore, mythology, and history - the Rolling Calf, the River Mumma, Obeah, the Maroon legacy, Rose Hall - Duppy Rising is the first book in an epic ten-book series about the war between the living and the dead, and the woman who refuses to choose a side.

The Chronicles of Niyamland is a ten-book epic fantasy series rooted in Jamaican folklore, history, and mythology. Each book stands on its own arc while building toward a series-wide resolution.
