Organised crime has taken hold in West Africa. Two opposing syndicates are locked in a bloody struggle for supremacy that has lasted a decade. The cost is high, the price paid in blood. There are the Onisagbe, or widow makers, whose claim to these streets dates back to the time when the city's first foundation stones were laid. For generations, they've ruled over Freetown. Then there's Awon Woli, a group of Liberians from over the border in Monrovia who have established in the area after fleeing their homeland during the civil unrest. What started out as a deal, an insult for an insult, has turned into a life for a life. One of Awon Woli's lieutenants has kidnapped the Onisagbe kingpin's daughter, and hold her captive, in preparation for sacrifice. The ancient prophecies they follow demand that the girl die before her thirteenth birthday. To get her back the Onisagbe are going to have to go to war, facing the threat of old gods and new. The only way that's happening is over the corpses of every last Awon Woli foot soldier.

About the Author

SLMN is a writing duo made up of two unique talents. In one life he has fought injustice wherever he has seen it, spending several years in developing nations helping those who couldn't for whatever reason help themselves. He worked on projects to bring fresh water to areas without it, to provide sex and health education and secure vital aid in war torn regions. He has served on peace keeping forces, campaigned against the deployment of landmines and in the last decade devoted his life to ecological issues, most notably combating the illegal trade in endangered species. He has witnessed atrocities no man should ever see, and glimpsed the secret inner workings of the world run by the rich and powerful making him enemies of some of the most dangerous men in the world. Never once has he walked away from a fight. In another life SLMN has produced a number of movies and is both a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author.
