Langabi: Season of Beasts (Langabi Triology)

From Ensimbini, a village in the shadow of the Ntokozo Hills within the Kingdom of Langabi, during the reign of King Diliza—the cousin of Langabi’s founder, the late Queen Sukumani—a hero emerges. Owethu, a young man from a family of respected ironworkers, finds his life forever changed when he and his father are attacked by the Mihlolo, fearsome supernatural creatures with human bodies and the faces of hyenas. Set in a mythical past, Langabi unfolds against a backdrop of a missing queen, a brutal king, and a kingdom on the brink. This first tale from The Blademakers of Langabi series is a fast-paced, vividly imagined African epic fantasy. Christopher Mlalazi brings to life the richly detailed people of Langabi, who, in love and in battle, must endure a harrowing fight for survival, freedom, and their homeland. A gripping story of manipulation and monsters, this searing quest will leave readers hungry for more.
