Seun has been plunged into darkness ever since his mother tragically passed away in his arms. When his father remarries and sends Seun to a boarding school, he is lost, alone, and forced to grapple with the harsh realities of being a misfit among his teachers and peers. Little does he know that beyond the veil of the seen world lies a secret realm swirling with dark magic and deadly prophecies. The coven leaders have foretold that Seun must be sacrificed to keep their magic alive. With the fate of his life and the fate of the magical world hanging in the balance, Seun must find strength beyond his grief and stand up against the forces of darkness. In this gripping and mythical tale surrounded by Orishas, Seun's journey of self-discovery and bravery will inspire readers to believe in the power of hope and the strength of the human spirit.
