Overview

Kofi never asked for glowing hands, creepy whispers, or to be blamed for half the weirdness in town. He just wanted to survive school without Ama, his annoyingly fearless classmate, calling him a coward every five minutes. But when living shadows slither into their village, Kofi and Ama discover they're not just unlucky kids, they're two of the Children of Nyame, chosen to weave threads of light and hold back an ancient darkness. Unfortunately, their new ""job"" also comes with suspicious neighbors, an old man who explains nothing properly, and enemies that don't play fair. Now, between dodging rumors, clumsy training sessions, and actual monsters, Kofi and Ama have to figure out how to save everyone without strangling each other first. Funny, fast-paced, and full of heart, The Children of Nyame kicks off a mythic African adventure about friendship, courage, and the slightly inconvenient task of saving the world.
