Inspired to bring ancient African history to the forefront of modern literature. Growing up, we were taught colonial and post-colonial African history. It is rare to hear of African history, tales, or traditions before slavery. This book paints a vivid picture of the lives of the people at the time.   “A Cry to War is a fictional portrayal of history rarely seen before. Thirteenth-century West Africa at its peak, in war, politics, and triumph.” 
A generation has passed, and the devastation of war is slowly fading away, but the scars remain, lingering in the hearts and minds of many. In an era of peace, King Ewuare remains conflicted, torn between opening closed wounds or allowing his reign of peace and prosperity to continue.  As the King tries to resolve his moral conflict, the gods have a different agenda. Sinister and supernatural forces amass on the summit of the Agbon mountains, deep into the clouds, where no man dare stray, where the wind bites cold, and the forest stays forever frozen. 
 
Within, lies a tale of Kings and Queens, warriors and commoners, slaves and sorcerers, and the consequences of their hurried actions. African tribes head to battle with swords forged of bronze and steel, wild beasts bending to the will of man and fighting side by side. A Cry to War is published by Ghagerian Publishing, RRP £8.18. ISBN 978-1-9162220-0-7. Available on Amazon paperback and Amazon Kindle.
