Malunga at War

Nissih Agishi Olabe

Summary

Malunga at War is a fictional story set in present-day East Africa. It’s a land of peace and beauty, a land where nature sits on its throne and beauty sprouts like the morning dew where the sun rises over the horizon of the hills and splashed its beauty across wildlife and into the hearts of men. The soil was rich and succulent and so it gave birth to bountiful harvest and created joyous seasons of celebrations. King Nyambe sits on the throne, but was not left without opposition as Buwana the three-horn and three-eyed demon and his two sons tried to invade the peace of Malunga, to defy the purity of the heart of men and restore the agony of evil.

Nyambe and the guardian of peace ‘Ruhu’ fought Buwana and his sons breaking one of Buwana’s horns before holding them captives in large bottles for centuries.

But tragedy struck again leaving Ruhu the guardian, saddled with the responsibility of training Atama the princess to fight and restore Malunga’s lost glory, but with her identity lost, will Atama ever remember who she is and her innate powers? or perhaps Zuchi her maid has hidden agenda.

The Deadly Trade

Barbara Kyle

Natalie Sinclair has dedicated her life to animal rescue. From lost dogs and cats to lab rabbits and pigs, Nat and her team of volunteers at All Creatures Great and Small will do almost anything to keep animals out of harm's way. When a freak accident results in the death of her beloved horse, and the man responsible ends up murdered, Nat is a natural suspect. Worse, she has caught the attention of the dead man's brother, whose wealth and unsavory connections run deep, including a link to a dangerous ring of criminals trafficking in wild animals. 
 
 
 
Suddenly, Nat's problems are much greater than breaking up lab tests on animals or finding her own missing dog. To clear her name, she's going to have to take risks she's never taken before and confront people she'd much rather avoid—including those closest to her. As her professional and personal life crumbles around her, and the stakes surrounding the murder become more and more dangerous, Nat will have to act with extreme daring or else she, not the animals, will be the one in need of rescue.
