I had the opportunity to catch up with the Co-Author of A Cry To War, a book set in 13th century Africa - Pre-slavery. The book follows the life a king who battles the duality of the physical and metaphysical. Consulting and collaborating with the spirits of the gods and elders past, King Ewuare the protagonist hopes to resolve a moral dilemma.
In my conversation with co-authors Karen and Odiase , they share the impetus behind this work. They talk about the importance of
- Telling an African story that has no connections to slavery and servitude. Answering questions like who were our people before interaction with Europe and how did we live?
- The importance the supernatural plays in the African cultures
