Acerca de esta escucha
A coming-of-age historical romance novel set in ninth century Africa during its golden age where mighty kingdoms prospered from the sale of gold and other commodities along the Sub-Sahara Trading Expeditions. The main characters are Princess Thema (a skilled sword fighter), and her childhood friend Ozigbodi. They both live in Ancient Ghana.
There is also Prince Akinyemi, from the African Kingdom of Ancient Benin. Both Ozigbodi and Akinyemi are skilled warriors and swordsmen. Their skills in battle lead to action-packed scenes.
When Thema and Akinyemi meet, sparks ignite as each is drawn to the other like a moth to a flame. Confused by their strong attraction for the other, they develop a clearer understanding of their feelings as they face life changing events together.
Thema’s willful nature and yearning for adventure lead to heartache, joy, and personal growth as she strives to understand the meaning of life, lost, and love.
Her childhood companion, Ozigbodi, who she loves deeply, is maturing and experiencing life alongside Thema. Ozigbodi gets swept into the mix as he holds on to romantic notions and a love for Thema he does not quite understand.
A love triangle develops between the two warriors Ozigbodi and Akinyemi, and overtime, Thema awakens into womanhood by one of them. Thema and her knight in shining armor experience adventures together which will lead them both down a path of self-discovery, friendship, romance, and a more mature love.
Historical quotes about the history of Africa are sprinkled throughout the novel to give the listener a better understanding of this fascinating continent and its peoples ancient customs.

Bayr of Saylok, bastard son of a powerful and jealous chieftain, is haunted by the curse once leveled by his dying mother. Bartered, abandoned, and rarely loved, she plagued the land with her words: From this day forward, there will be no daughters in Saylok. Raised among the Keepers at Temple Hill, Bayr is gifted with inhuman strength. But he’s also blessed with an all-too-human heart that beats with one purpose: to protect Alba, the first girl child born in nearly two decades and the salvation for a country at risk.

With all that is happening in his land, the upcoming shifter mating ceremony is the least of Grier’s concerns. Even though he is heir prince of the dragon-shifters, he doesn’t have the authority needed to help the humans stranded in dragon territory, nor can he banish those who ruthlessly control them. Yet honor demands he finds an opportunity to intervene, and he hopes that doing so won’t start a war the shifters can’t win.

In my dreams, Odin whispers to me. He tells me I'm destined to wield a legendary sword. He tells me my road will bring me to Valhalla. But when I wake, I'm only Hervor. Fatherless. Unloved. Unwanted. Jarl Bjartmar, my grandfather, calls me cursed. My mother, her memories stolen by the gods, has forgotten me. Everyone tells me I should have been left to the wolves, but no one will tell me why. None but Eydis, a thrall with völva magic, believes I'm meant for a greater destiny. Yet who can believe a devotee of Loki?

Boudica, second daughter of a Celtic king, has little concern for tribal tensions and political intrigues. Called by the gods and the stirrings of her own wild heart, she listens instead to whispers of the oaks. But Boudica would be wiser to heed the warning cries of eagles. Rumors abound that the Romans are amassing forces for another invasion. In an effort to consolidate power, Boudica’s father turns to Prasutagus, the formidable ruler of the Greater Iceni. To win Prasutagus’s aid, Boudica’s father must strike a bargain - a deal with implications beyond Boudica’s imagining.
