Description
What happens when deities need help?
They seek out mortals, of course.
In this three-story collection, you’ll find magical tales of deities among mortals from the Sky Realm, New York City, and Cosmic Planes too far to reach.
Find out if Eshu, the gatekeeping trickster, can hoodwink the creation deity, Obatala, to craft him a human body. If he fails, he may never get in contact with a mortal that needs his help.
Journey with Oya, the windweaving warrior, as she battles to communicate an important message to one of her divine children on Earth. If she can’t, doom will fall upon mankind.
War with Shango, the hero of lightning, who fights alongside Thor against an uncompromising mystic foe. If they can’t come together to face the dark, there may no longer be light for humanity.
Can the Orishas succeed?
Find out in this collection of short stories and a novelette tied to the TJ Young & The Orishas series, a young adult fantasy based on the mythology of the West African spirits, where deities travel among mortals for the first time in ages.
Advance Praise
"Antoine Bandele knows how to write beautifully, and this world he built is awesome. This is perfect for fans of Harry Potter or percy jackson, and i think it was high time for a world like this that is not Western-focused."
-Luna Gerrits
"I really can't put into words just how much I've loved this series so far. I think one of the things that really sets this series apart is the depth of the characters' grief and the real stakes that come with everything they've gone through."
-Marie Reed
"The Orishas and Gods play a much bigger role in this book, and it was fascinating to explore their abilities and power structures. I also didn't expect to encounter Gods I'd heard about from other stories."
-Cyndr
"I loved the whole heist premise and the introduction of Greek gods and other deities into the storyline!"
-Alicia
"I. NEED. MORE. I can’t even put into words how much I love and enjoy this series. It truly just gets better and better with each book and I feel that nowadays, that’s so rare!"
