Echoes of the Ancients
Men build walls of mud and iron, draw maps across the soil, and trade gold for the illusion of control. But the earth does not negotiate, and the ocean does not barter. They merely wait.
In this masterful collection of three interconnected epics, the fragile boundary between the mortal realm and the divine shatters, exposing the catastrophic price of humanity's arrogance.
In Book One: Silver in the Waves, the suffocating, transactional world of terrestrial wealth is left behind for the crushing, absolute zero of the abyss. Abebi, the daughter of a powerful chief and a calculating High Priestess, refuses to be traded for copper and political alliances. Drawn to the midnight shoreline by a flawless, enigmatic fisherman, she discovers the terrifying sovereign of the deep, Olokun. To stand beside the King of the Waters, Abebi must violently sever the tethers of her mortal lineage, plunging into a chilling, magnificent romance that requires the total surrender of her humanity.
Told with devastating psychological depth and sweeping, lyrical prose, this trilogy explores the profound tragedy of ambition, the bloody cost of legacy, and the awe-inspiring terror of surrendering to the vast, unknowable forces of nature.
Book Two: The Iron Heresy, the deafening anvils of l -Irin ring with the promise of industrial supremacy. But when Ọdẹyẹmi, a brilliant initiate, rejects the burning brand of the iron god g n and flees into the suffocating dark of the Deep Woods, he triggers a spiritual revolution. Hunted by his own father-the legendary Master of the Hunt, a man broken by his own compromises-Ọdẹyẹmi must synthesize with the absolute, terrifying ṣẹ of the forest to survive, proving that the roots of the earth will always outlast the rust of the forge.
In Book Three: The Leopard's Legacy, the corrupt kingmakers of the ṣ gb council sell the sacred groves to a foreign, industrialized empire, entirely unaware of the apocalypse locked inside their own shrines. To stop the world from burning, a brilliant political mastermind, y l de F nkẹ́, must ally with Abọ́dẹ̀r n-a young hunter whose mind has been hijacked by Ajaka-Ode, the most lethal, bloodthirsty ancestor of the First Epoch. Together, boy and ghost must forge an unprecedented, horrifying synthesis to command an army of rabid spirits and slaughter the Age of Iron before it devours the green.
