A pacifist monk. A threatening darkness. An innocent village hanging in the balance.

Hoping to escape his dark past, Amana travels to the great village of Bajok in search of redemption. The day he arrives, a young woman is slain and the locals point their fingers at the new arrival.

Amana must overcome the village's trepidation. A demon is on the loose and he fears more will die. The solution is obvious—a swift and brutal counterattack. 

But his vow of peace is the last virtue that remains in his tattered soul.

Is his personal peace more valuable than the lives of the innocent, or will Amana be swallowed by the darkness that has hounded him his entire life?

Delve into an African fantasy inspired by the Angola folklore, where Amana will face mystical villains, ancient secrets, and the demons that smolder within himself.

      J. Keith Jackson narrates an epic African fantasy featuring warriors, demons, and monks-in-training. Amana has come to the village of Bajok to learn from a reclusive master. He ends up staying when it becomes clear that there is a supernatural threat to the population. Jackson creates a vibrant cast of characters, including somewhat feckless Amana, brave warrior Nya, wiley elder Uzoma, and noble fighter Kojo. While the plot occasionally suffers from a lack of focus, Jackson is not deterred from bringing the dangerous and breathtaking world of Esowan to life, clearly reveling in the chance to do so. Postproduction sound effects add extra flair to a dramatic story. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
