Publisher's Summary

A bloodthirsty demon. A pacifist monk with a deadly past. How much will he sacrifice to overcome unspeakable evil?

Amana hopes his dark secrets will never catch up with him. But when nearby villagers discover a mauled body near him, the residents assume the traveling monk is to blame. Amana suspects the grisly handiwork of a bloodthirsty, mythological creature.

Determined to clear his name and catch the culprit, Amana follows the trail of bloody clues. When shadows from his own past tie in with the demonic attack, he's torn between his vow of pacifism and his duty to protect the defenseless. As the demon prepares to strike again, Amana must summon the courage to confront his own dark deeds before the creature can corrupt the hearts and minds of the entire village.

The Kishi is an enthralling fantasy novel steeped in African folklore. If you like mythological creatures, tormented heroes, and intense battles, then you’ll love Antoine Bandele’s captivating tale of redemption.

Buy The Kishi to embark on an action-packed, magical journey today!

A vibrant tale that sucks you in

The Kishi is a fascinating story told with such vivid detail it's impossible not to become completely immersed in the world. All the characters feel organic and fleshed out which helps make the fantasy elements of their world feel so real. I am by no means an expert on African culture or mythology but the author has clearly done their work and written the story so well that I never felt lost of confused but in fact enthralled when introducing these larger than life creatures.

The only complaint I have (and it's minor) is that once the main threat has been overcome it felt a little rushed to end but other than that this was an incredible ride and I can't wait for the next Tales from Esowon story!
