  A cosmic war reignites, and the fate of the orisha lies in the hands of an untried acolyte in this first entry of a new epic fantasy novella duology, for fans of N. K. Jemisin and Suyi Davies Okungbowa.  
   
  Ashâke is an acolyte in the temple of Ifa, yearning for the day she is made a priestess and sent out into the world to serve the orisha. But of all the acolytes, she is the only one the orisha refuse to speak to. For years, she has watched from the sidelines as peer after peer passes her by and ascends to full priesthood. 
   
  Desperate, Ashâke attempts to summon and trap an orisha—any orisha. Instead, she experiences a vision so terrible it draws the attention of a powerful enemy sect and thrusts Ashâke into the center of a centuries-old war that will shatter the very foundations of her world. 
   
  “Ogundiran’s story of an acolyte’s lost faith is electrifying, terrifying, and tender all at the same time. There’s more wonder and creativity packed into these pages than a book five times its length, and I’m already aching for the next chapter in Ashâke’s adventure.”—Mark Oshiro

  THE ENCHANTED CASTLE ARCHIVES 
    
  The enchanted castle lies somewhere in the enchanted forest, which touches all kingdoms. 
  At one time or another. There's no predicting when the portal into the forest will open. 
  Getting in is difficult. 
  Getting out is even harder. 
  The castle moves about in the forest, needing an anchor. And a princess. 
  The forest moves from kingdom to kingdom. 
  Until two wanderers stumble inside, and meet in their separate quests to break curses and find answers. 
    
    
  LIARS' QUEST 
    
  An orphan servant, Ash successfully masqueraded as a boy until she was nearly 15 -- then a spoiled brat nobleman's daughter accused her of assault. 
    
  A quixotic justiciar got involved, and with both girls revealed as liars, sentenced them to a quest. Ostensibly, the one who succeeded in accomplishing the list of deeds would be proven the innocent, injured party. 
    
  Ash fled to avoid being captured by the spoiled brat's servants and forced to do all the quest work for both of them. Along the way, she stumbled in and out of trouble and learned a great deal of magic -- including the magic born into her blood. 
    
  Her traveling companions: Fang the bunny, who complicated things when he was only partially turned into a vampire, and a spirit ring, to allow the justiciar to spy on her adventures. When the ring decided to become Ash's friend, then things got interesting.
