Description
In this thrilling meet-the-author workshop with Ashley Thorpe, explore the exciting Yoruba mythology from his bold and fearless book.
What if you had the power of the gods? Kayode dreams of eating the forbidden fruit of the Orishas, so he can gain their power and stop those merciless beings who terrorise his people. So, when a fruit mysteriously appears in his path after the Orishas snatch his sister, he leaps on it. Surging new and difficult-to-control powers, he joins forces with a shapeshifting trickster god and a vengeful princess to save his sister and put an end to the mighty Orishas. But each has more fearful powers than the last, and Kayode’s stolen half-god strength won’t last forever.
