Malunga at War

Nissih Agishi Olabe

Sinopsis

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 Chatelaine

Kate Heartfield

Winner of the Aurora Award for Best Novel, 2019
Hell is empty and all the demons are here.
The Chatelaine has come.
The year is 1328 and Bruges is under siege by the Chatelaine of Hell and her army of chimeras – creatures forged in the deep fires of the Hellbeast.
At night, revenants crawl over the walls and bring plague and grief to this city of widows. Margriet de Vos learns she's a widow herself when her good-for-nothing husband comes home dead from the war. But he didn't come back for her. The revenant who was her husband pulls a secret treasure of coins and weapons from under his floorboards and goes back through the mouth of the beast called Hell.
Margriet killed her first soldier when she was eleven. She's buried six of her seven children. She'll do anything for her daughter, even if it means raiding Hell itself to get her inheritance back.
Margriet's daughter Beatrix is haunted by a dead husband of her own, and blessed, or cursed, with an enchanted distaff that allows her to control the revenants and see the future.
Together with a transgender man-at-arms who has unfinished business with the Chatelaine, a traumatised widow with a giant water-powered forgehammer at her disposal, and a wealthy alderman's wife who escapes Bruges with her children, Margriet and Beatrix forge a raiding party the likes of which Hell has never seen…
In The Chatelaine, Sunday Times bestselling author Kate Heartfield explores dark, supernatural themes in a historical fantasy setting. This feminist narrative of alternative history and occult fiction is a testament to Heartfield's storytelling prowess.
For fans of Jaleigh Johnson (Dungeons & Dragons), Christie Golden (World of Warcraft), Gwendolyn Kiste (Into the Forest), William Wood (Dark Corners of the Old Dominion), and Lucy A. Snyder (The Best Horror of the Year Volume 5).
