An Axe for a Hammer: An Old Gods Story

What happens when the God of Thunder dies?You blame his Orisha comrade, of course. Thor of Asgard is dead. And Shango of the Orishas is to blame.

A cosmic war has been waged for countless ages between the deities of Earth and a strange force of shadows known as the God Eaters. Many of Earth’s greatest heroes have fallen to this mysterious enemy, but Thor and Shango stood firm where other champions had failed.

Until now.

Dragged from the warfront, Shango is held in chains by the Court of All, interrogated over how Thor died under an Orisha’s watch.

Some deities claim foul play, others are charging Shango with negligence. But they all agree Shango’s abilities can no longer be trusted.

Shango is determined to prove his innocence and clear his name. There is no other option. If he fails, he’ll spend the rest of his days in the Dungeon of Deities... or worst. Delve into this prequel novella to The Hero’s Equinox, a young adult fantasy based on the West African mythology of the Orishas.
