This story features a girl who has a mission and a god who has a deal– and the resulting story that has the potential to end up changing everything.

Akoma Addo is 17 years old when she finds herself accidentally discovering a world that is full of ancient gods and modern magic. Now she is going to have to make a decision as to whether she wants to save her father or feel like she can stay true to all that she has ever believed.

Akoma Addo has always had just one rule for herself, and that is to avoid getting too close when it comes to the supernatural. She didn’t always have this policy, but events in her life made her decide to embrace it.

A blazing orb of light arrived and ended up leaving her father in a coma. Ever since that happened, Akoma has done her best to try and forget that it’s happened. She has devoted herself to her work, a secret job where she looks into magical crimes that take place in San Francisco’s AfricaTown.

It seems to be working and she feels that she’s able to successfully keep the grief that she is feeling at bay. But it is only a matter of time before something pops up and makes everything more complicated. In this case, that would be a dead body.

A body is discovered in a pool of molten gold and ash and suddenly Akoma is finding that she is being pulled into something that is a lot bigger and a lot more dangerous. It appears that there is also a mythical element to this. The center of all of this is Anansi, who is known for being the trickster god of stories. He makes an offer to her that she feels is impossible. If she can help him to track down a killer and catch them while waking up the ancestral magic that is in her blood, he will give her the opportunity to bring her father back.

Akoma is blown away by the deal and knows that she might not get this chance anywhere else. In order to take it, she is going to have to lie to everyone and embrace the power that she has spent years of her life attempting to deny.

Her connection is getting bigger with Xander, the new guy in town who has some of his own secrets. Akoma is going to have to figure out who she can trust, and the kicker of it all is that she is not sure anymore that she can trust even herself.

Finding roots in Ghanaian mythology, this story is full of danger, mystery, and romance with a slow burn. It’s a fantasy story that once you pick it up, you might just find that you can’t put it down. Check out Goldenborn from Ama Ofosua Lieb to follow along with every word and to see whether Akoma will choose to bring back her father from the dead or if she feels that it’s better to walk away from the deal and leave things as they are.
