SAKHAN is born a third son, a half-blood, and an abomination. Nothing is expected of him. So, when a seer foretells his power and greatness, the people are mystified as to how it will come to pass.

Sixteen-year-old Sakhan is now the new chief of a weak tribe in a world of sworn enemies, cunning skinchangers, and devastating earth magic. Surrounded by those who would rather have his head than his friendship, Sakhan must face the impossible to evade the enslavement of his people as he confronts a curse that lurks in his family and a conquering army that invades his lands.

Join the young chief on this epic adventure as he fights for the legend of his promised greatness.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

It's the second book of a series I still haven't read the first one, but I definitely will after this one. It explores African folklore in extremely intriguing new ways mixed really well with fantasy elements! It's epic, glorious, intense, and dramatic! The narrative style also goes smoothly and lets you dive deeper and deeper into the story and the world as you read chapter after chapter! Definitely recommend the book!

An epic cover, an epic title, and an epic continuation to The Half Tales series that is a must-read for fans of fantasy, riveting character journeys, or African folklore.

Thank you to the author for submitting this book for review!
