'One of Africa's greatest living writers' Giles FodenRestless, ambitious Ilyas was stolen from his parents by the Schutzruppe askari, the German colonial troops; after years away, he returns to his village to find his parents gone, and his sister Afiya given away. Hamza was not stolen, but was sold; he has come of age in the schutztruppe, at the right hand of an officer whose control has ensured his protection but marked him for life. The century is young.

I am mine. But I am also Emmanuel's.Just like an atom can be a particle and a wave at the same time.When he leans toward me, Emmanuel's dark curls fall forward, shadowing the rest of the world, and cocooning us in an intimate space. His cognac eyes glint with specks of amethyst. His hands at my waist slip under my shirt, our skin meeting in a spark of heat that also holds the warmth of a comforting fire. Desire and true love are one hell of a combination. I never expected to face any of this, but here I am fighting powerful magical forces and winning. I have good motivation: to save humanity from the curse of zombies. I'm not alone on this quest.

My sister is driven to destroy me... and all of humanity.But my destiny is my own. Views: 590
