Aje issue 1: The curse

The story centres on Teni Faloni, a young college student, who discovers she has mysterious powers. Her African studies professor, Sofiat, reveals her true heritage and trains her in the ancient ways of the ‘Aje’ – powerful women whose extraordinary powers were tied to their ability to speak magic words…. Sofiat is one of the few remaining survivors of an ancient war in which the Aje were divided – between those who stayed faithful to the old ways and those who embraced darker ways and became allies of new invaders in the land. During this terrible struggle, the traditional Aje were wiped out, their traditions erased and their Queen mysteriously disappeared, while the only Aje that remained, became known and feared as witches. Believing that Teni is her Queen reborn, Sofiat trains her, but she is not the only one with her sights set on the young woman – others will fight to posess her, including her own father, who has dark secrets of his own! Against the backdrop of Teni’s chaotic life on campus, the apprentice Aje will discover secrets about herself, her family and the fate of everyone she loves. She will discover that her power lies within powerful magic words, spoken in her native language. —- ISBN: 9798327743472
