What happens when the God of Thunder dies? You blame his Orisha comrade, of course. Thor of Asgard is dead. And Shango of the Orishas is to blame. A cosmic war has been waged for countless ages between the deities of Earth and a strange force of shadows known as the God Eaters. Many of Earth’s greatest heroes have fallen to this mysterious enemy, but Thor and Shango have stood firm where other champions have failed. Until now. Dragged from the warfront, Shango is held in chains by the Court of All, interrogated over how Thor died under an Orisha’s watch. Some deities claim foul play, others are charging Shango with negligence. But they all agree Shango’s abilities can no longer be trusted. Shango is determined to prove his innocence and clear his name. There is no other option. If he fails, he’ll spend the rest of his days in the Dungeon of Deities… or worse. Delve into this prequel novella to The Hero’s Equinox, a young adult fantasy based on the West African mythology of the Orishas.

HOW I RATE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Very Profound and/or Entertaining. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I enjoyed it. ⭐⭐⭐ It was okay. ⭐⭐ I didn't enjoy it. ⭐ I hated it. ABOUT ME ANTOINE BANDELE IS AN AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR IN AFRICAN LITERATURE. He lives in Los Angeles, CA with his girlfriend, where he produces work on YouTube for his own channel and others, such as JustKiddingFilms, Fanalysis, and more. During the summer he is a camp counselor. Whenever he has the time he’s writing his debut series: Tales from Esowon. SINCE 1990 ... I've been a creative kid, whether writing stories, drawing comics, or directing home movies. I remember the first time I thought I was a "published" author. My father took my brother and I to an office supply store, where we got our books (which were made out of wide-ruled notebook paper) laminated and copied. It felt so legit. In elementary school, I kept filling out more notebooks with my stories. I was even brave enough to share those stories with friends during recess. The underside of the playground slide became my own library, but the only inventory was my books. They were stories about kung fu fighting teenagers who were stuck in their own dreams (still might develop that one day), or fan fiction covering my favorite franchises. Growing up in Los Angeles, only a few miles from Hollywood, I started flirting with the film industry. This became my focus throughout my young adult years. I majored in Multimedia at California State University Northridge (though my diploma is still incomplete). That eventually got me on YouTube which (for most filmmakers in those early days) was the best place to archive and share your work. YouTube has turned into a different beast today, but I still seek out that sense of community it had among like-minded individuals. If there is one thing that encompasses my life so far, one theme, it would be the pursuit of art. Whether I'm writing, drawing, editing or otherwise (though I really wish I had a talent for music), I've always been drawn to crafting art. That's all I'm really about when it comes right down to the bare bones, everything stripped away. I'm fueled by creating make-believe, letting my imagination take me to wonderful worlds filled with characters who speak to my inner muse. So join me here on my small corner of the internet (a bit of an upgrade to the underside of a playground). I want to share my creativity with you.
