Description
“…it is simply a masterpiece! Well worth reading as an adult and as a YA.”
"My 12-year-old read this book, and she couldn't put it down."
If she fails, her sisters will die, demons will take over the world and she’ll get trapped in hell for eternity, so no pressure then…
Impoverished orphan Naledi struggles to raise her younger sisters in rural Africa. Her life already sucks but when she manifests the rare ability to open portals through time and space, her life gets a whole lot more complicated. Will learning to harness her powers piss off God and land her in hell?
Now a couple of archangels want Naledi to use her powers to spy on hell and stop a demon Armageddon. Spies who are caught on earth get tortured, so imagine how badly spies who are caught in actual hell get tortured…
If you love feisty heroines, gut-wrenching emotion, sweet romance and explosive endings, you’ll love this book.
Advance Praise
"""Think “Dante’s Inferno” meets “The Hunger Games,” with a strong female heroine like the latter.
The novel combines dramatic moments of action and terror with lighter moments of humor and even romance.
The book is well-written, with vivid descriptions of Hell, snappy dialogue and clever turns of phrase
This is a page-turning fantasy adventure.""
""Such a beautiful blend of the elements both of Africa and of mainstream fiction. I strongly feel it’s a great way for people in other countries to learn something of African culture and values within the commonality of a familiar genre. A breathtakingly unique world with a unique storyline, this book is a thoroughly enjoyable read."""

This was my first experience with respect to anything African. The experience was simply amazing as the author guided me through the story as well as the cultural setting in which it is happening. It thrilled me not just to unravel the contents of the book but also to ponder through the imagination of the author. An absolute gem of a book. What I loved the most was the number of African words I got to learn. Looking forward to more books from the author.
