Publisher's summary

What happens when a deity needs to reconnect with humanity? They go to New York City, of course.

Oya, the deity of storms, must convey a message. But how can she do it when no Orisha has communicated with a mortal in centuries? To succeed, she must break the ancient rules that have shackled her for ages. The world’s hope rests on the shoulders of her holy child, young Manny Martinez, but she’s proving fiendishly hard to reach with a crowded mind full of family reunions, social media, and a city rife with distractions.

If time runs out, an all-out war could break out between mortals and immortals alike. Find out if Oya can succeed in this short story epilogue to The Gatekeeper’s Staff, a young adult fantasy based on the mythology of the West African gods, where Oya will battle against Mother Internet, Father Technology, and even her own allies.

Such a teaser, I'm on the edge of my seat.

Loved it. I can hardly wait for the full installment. I am definitely waiting for hardcover to match the 1st.

The most wonderful story ever told.

I love this book because it’s a story that capture you and keep you wanting more. This book have my 46 year old self wanting a lot more. Truly a must read but best to listen. Better on Audible because the narrator brought the story to life.

Excellent story line from an fantasy version.

This book is very informative and allows the reader to experience the subject in a fashion of innocenced. Great deciption and depth; a different way to enlighten the viewer.

REALLY Audible!? whole credit for a 45min story!

Listen i was all in and want to give it 5 stars. The story had a great start but really a WHOLE credit for less than an hour story! This should have been all kinds of free! seriously ot was litterally 45mins. That is more of a disappointment in Audible vs. the author and book.
