For generations, African American men and women have faced terrible hardships in the form of systemic racism, police brutality and other forms of discrimination. Many of them turned to Christianity as a source of solace, while others turned to Islam. Geraldine Lebrun, a young Haitian-American woman attending Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, has different plans. Fed up with both Eurocentric Christianity and racism, Geraldine turns to the Religions of her African Ancestors. In the old days, as Christianity and Islam spread across the Motherland of Africa, the Pagan Gods fled to the Ether to avoid Erasure. One among them stands out, Taal the Wayfarer. Ages ago, Taal was the Godhead of the Nok Kingdom in ancient Nigeria. A bisexual charmer and adventurous sort whose appetites for both Sex and Destruction knew no bounds, Taal was a Rogue Deity even among the Ancient Gods. When Geraldine and her Acolytes open the Gateway between worlds, Taal arrives on Earth. At first, Taal avenges African American men and women killed by racist cops, performs miracles and obeys Geraldine's every command, but the renegade African Deity has his own agenda. In an effort to vanquish racism and sexism by Supernatural means, has Geraldine made a deal with the Devil ?
Autorenporträt
Deep beneath the burning sands of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, an ancient Entity has been awakened. The Entity, which is neither matter nor energy, is one of the Formless Ones. It has existed since before the Time of the Dinosaurs. When an Asteroid hit the Planet Earth in ancient times, the Entity was trapped underground. Eons later, encased in oil, the Entity is accidentally freed by Nigerian workman Tariq Adewale. The nigh-Immortal creature is loose upon the modern world, and its aims are unknown. Housed in the body of its ill-fated liberator, the Entity explores the modern world while seeking others like itself. It is governed by a unique set of rules. That which is without form, and wasn't created, therefore cannot be destroyed. Tariq's already difficult life spirals out of control as he gains new abilities out of the blue. There's also the matter of Tariq's lover, the curvaceous Saudi courtesan Afaf Al-Rahmani, and her enemies. In Saudi Arabia, Arab women who like Black men are just courting trouble. Nevertheless, Afaf's attraction to Tariq cannot be denied. Passions soar and clash in the world's most conservative nation. Starved for new sensations, especially sex and violence, the Entity welcomes the chaos and the conflict. How will Humanity deal with this ancient being that simply cannot die and has strange plans for the species ?
