BLACKGUARD: WAY OF THE ASKARI

In the vast nation of Sol Galnese, where legends are forged through fire and steel, two lives on a collision course with destiny intertwine. Uzoma and Ru, brothers bound by fate and ambition, find themselves at the gates of Shujaa Pit, the famed training grounds of the Askari -- the order of warriors tasked with protecting the kingdoms and their populations.

Uzoma's heart seethes vengeance, fueled by memories that haunt his every step. Across from him stands Ru, a tempest of determination, driven to prove his worth to their adoptive father, Baaku.

Amidst the clashes of boko, clangs of swords, and the roar of battles, an outcast's power grows darker with each life he extinguishes. Bonds will be strained, and allegiances will be tested as the Askari's path to glory is shrouded in peril. The legacy of the Askari hangs in the balance, and the shadows of failure threaten to eclipse everything they cherish.

In a tale where bravery meets darkness, only one question matters -- will they prevail, or will all be lost?


"The author deftly spins a gripping yarn of vengeance, ambition, and the intricate web of familial bonds. The narrative unfolds with exhilarating clashes, swordfights, and epic battles, each painted with meticulous detail. What truly sets this novel apart is its fearless exploration of moral ambiguity." -Melina Lobo, @melisbookreviews
