SPFBO7

The Old gods have come to helldire and to stop them, Mercy will have to venture into the dark forests, but people have always told stories about the forests—and not the good kind. She will have to go to the forests with her sister, who is a wolf, in search of the Kal order, a secret order that has protected the world against threats from other worlds. Their quest will tangle them with other characters all in hope of killing the old gods, but maybe to kill an old god you need help from another god. Maybe they’ll need to find a new god to help, but the cost will be great.

A Night of the Burntmen by Emmanuel Akeyo

SPFBO10

The world of Loviah is covered in eternal darkness by the god who lives in the mountain and hasn’t seen a sunrise for thousands of years. The creatures and people have adapted to the darkness and a special few can harness the magic of the dark. Meka, a former soldier of the empire, is forced to flee with his daughter, hide in remote towns, but the empire still searches for him. The empire has orders to kill his daughter who has the ability to harness the magic in the darkness. Her power comes once every hundred years and the empire fears what the god of the mountain might do to them if they don’t find the child in time. To keep his daughter safe, Meka must find the creyder, a resistance group, but the road to the creyder will take them deep into the dark and dangerous lands of Loviah, filled with monsters and demons where they’ll have little to no friends. But when has a soldier ever had friends?
