A girl with a mission. A god with a deal. A story that
could change everything.
When 17-year-old Akoma Addo stumbles into a world of ancient gods
and modern magic, she'll have to choose between saving her father...
or staying true to everything she's ever believed.
Akoma Addo has one rule: don't get too close to the supernatural.
Ever since a blazing orb of light left her father in a coma, she's
buried herself in her secret job investigating magical crimes
in San Francisco's AfricaTown - just enough to keep her grief at
bay. But when a body turns up in a pool of molten gold and ash,
Akoma's pulled into something much bigger - and far more dangerous.
At the center of it all is Anansi, the trickster god of stories,
who makes her an impossible offer: help him catch a killer and
awaken the ancestral magic buried deep in her blood... and in return,
he'll give her a chance to bring her father back. To take
the deal, Akoma will have to lie to everyone she loves and embrace
the very power she's spent years trying to deny. And as her connection
grows with Xander, the new guy in town with secrets of his
own, Akoma must decide who she can trust - especially when she's
no longer sure she can even trust herself.
Rooted in Ghanaian mythology
Packed with mystery, danger, and slow-burning romance
A gripping fantasy about legacy, lies, and what it really means
to rewrite your story.
