Shadow Legacy: Curse of the Shetani

In Shadow Legacy: Curse of the Shetani, follow the gripping tale of Malaika, a prince cursed by the malevolent demon Shetani. As he wrestles with exile, betrayal, and a destiny tied to destruction, Malaika must find the strength to overcome his inner darkness and protect his pride from forces threatening to consume them all. This dark fantasy novel is packed with complex characters, intense struggles, and a richly woven world that will leave readers craving more.

The Story Behind the Story:
What started as a collaborative roleplay in a chatroom called Promontory Point has evolved into an intricate tale of power, redemption, and survival. The original RP, led by Simbaji Mizaati, explored themes of love and conflict, and while some events from those sessions remain, they’ve been transformed to create a fresh and engaging narrative. For me, this book represents not only years of writing but also a bridge between personal experiences and the shared creativity of the RP community.

Themes and Reflection:
At its heart, Shadow Legacy explores the struggle against inner demons, the weight of family expectations, and the power of resilience. As I crafted this story, I wanted to delve into what happens when we’re pushed to the edge and must choose between survival and surrender. I hope this story resonates with anyone who’s faced adversity and emerged stronger.

The Journey So Far:
Readers have praised the story for its depth, action, and emotional resonance. Writing this novel taught me the importance of perseverance, and seeing it come to life has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

What's Next?
Shadow Legacy: Curse of the Shetani is just the beginning. The sequel, Sins of the Fallen, is underway, and the Shadow Legacy universe is expanding with plans for an animated adaptation. This project will bring Malaika’s story to a whole new audience, combining stunning visuals with the emotional weight of the books.

Lawless Hour

Lawless Hour is a gripping political thriller and dystopian narrative that asks a chilling question: What happens when law enforcement is given unchecked power, even for just one hour a year? This harrowing story follows a nation grappling with the consequences of a policy that turns an hour into a nightmarish purge.

The Inspiration:
The idea for this novel came from a comment made by then-candidate Donald Trump during a rally. He proposed a concept where police could enforce laws without limitations for one hour each year. While the suggestion may have been offhand, it sparked a deep sense of urgency in me to explore what such a policy could mean for society—and the horrifying realities it could unleash. Writing this book became an act of reflection and resistance, turning a chilling thought experiment into a fully realized narrative.

Themes and Appeal:
The story delves into themes of unchecked power, moral compromise, and societal breakdown. Readers who enjoy thought-provoking political thrillers or dystopian worlds like The Handmaid’s Tale or 1984 will find themselves immersed in this cautionary tale.
