Book Overview

by Balogun Ojetade (Author)

The empire calls it order. The people call it survival.

Aya has spent eighteen years learning one lesson: in Timbuktu, the poor exist only to serve the powerful. Beaten by the woman who should have loved her, forbidden to pursue her dream of becoming a warrior, and surrounded by a monarchy that treats commoners as disposable, she has learned to keep her head down-even while her heart burns for revolution.

Everything changes during the Kehleh Seli, the Festival of Combat.

In a world where kings rule through fear, warriors fight for the amusement of the wealthy, and freedom is worth more than life itself, one young woman may become the spark that ignites a revolution.

Shackle and Bone is an epic Sword and Soul novel of courage, rebellion, family, sacrifice, and destiny-perfect for readers who love sweeping worldbuilding, unforgettable heroines, brutal combat, and revolutionary hope forged in the fires of oppression.

"Master Griot Balogun Ojetade delivers an exciting story filled with heart-pounding action and deep emotion. Shackle and Bone Book One is the beginning of what promises to be a must-read series that expands the lore of Ki Khanga and Sword and Soul."
