A Testimony of Blood - An epic fantasy infused with the mythology of West Africa

''A bird in a cage may be safe but it will know no peace until it can fly. After all that we have seen, all that we have lost, I believe that the time to dance has come. We''ve hidden long enough.'' For those with the wit to learn, there is no better teacher than death. Nowhere is this truth better known than in the Eredo; where death''s signature marks every corner as its leaders and people try to recover from a devastating attack. The lost princess Falina Almarak has been crowned queen of the Kasinabe and charged with the unenviable task of rebuilding a broken nation. Rumi Voltaine, seen by so many as a hero, struggles to come to terms with the revelations of his ancestral past and the expectations that come with it. With the Shadow Order deprived of its essential healing elixir, Rumi and his companions embark upon an impossible mission: to journey into the deepest parts of the forest known as the bush of ghosts. The forest holds many secrets - including the gateway known as the Door of Testimony which may hold the power to bring the dead back to life. They will have to be careful though; godhunters are on their trail and time is a precious commodity when your adversaries are immortal... Inspired by West-African spirituality and set in a world reminiscent of colonial Africa. A TESTIMONY OF BLOOD is the continuation of the SONG OF GODHUNTERS an epic adult fantasy series.
