Langabi: Season of Beasts

There is something I've never told you about our king,' Father was saying as we walked around the palisade. We were three abreast, and I was in the middle. He looked at me. 'Even Guduza doesn't know about this too, Owethu, but I think this is the right time for both of you to know about it, as there is now something else happening in the kingdom that I can't right now give you the full details of, and please don't ask me what it is.

Owethu, a young man from a family of respected ironworkers, and his father are attacked one morning by supernatural creatures, the Mihlolo. With the body of a human and the face of a hyena, they are fearsome. In this mythical past, a missing queen and a brutal king form the stunning backstory of this first tale from the Blademakers of the Langabi series.
