The Liminal People

The Liminal People: A Novel

In Ayize Jama-Everett's second Liminal novel, a young 
martial artist finds there's more to the world than she can kick, more 
than she can see.

Chabi doesn’t realize her 
martial arts master may not be on the side of the gods. She does know 
he’s changed her from being an almost invisible kid to one that anyone —
 or at least anyone smart — should pay attention to. But attention from 
the wrong people can mean more trouble than even she can handle. Chabi 
might be emotionally stunted. She might have no physical voice. She 
doesn’t communicate well with words, but her body is poetry.

The Entropy of Bones

In the third Liminal Novel Taggert's adopted daughter disappears so he only has one option: find her.

When
 Taggert's adopted daughter goes missing he suspects the hand of an old 
enemy. He gathers friends, family, and even those who don't quite trust 
that he has left his violent past behind. But their search leads them to
 an unexpected place, the past, and the consequences of their journey 
have a price that is higher than they can afford.

The Liminal War: a novel

In the final novel of the Liminals, a found family of Black superheroes has one last chance to save the world.

After traveling back in time to rescue his fostered daughter, Taggert has returned to the present and found himself in his favorite place: up against the wall. But the world they’ve returned to is not the one they left: everything is slightly grayer, the music is boring, joy is just out of reach. The liminals’ entropic enemies, the Alters, are trying to bring about the end of the world by sucking the life—literally—out of enough people to tip the balance their way. 

Traveling from Jamaica to London to Indonesia to the heart of the whirlwind in the desert at the heart of all deserts, Taggert and his found family of liminals and supporters have to find a way to bring back the joy before they’re all ground down into the gray dust.
