TJ Young & The Orishas Book 1
by Antoine Bandele
Genre: YA Contemporary Fantasy
TJ Young has been surrounded by magic his entire life, yet he has never
tapped into it… until now.
Fourteen-year-old TJ grew up normal in a secret community of gifted
diviners in the heart of modern-day Los Angeles. His powerful sister was
ordained to lead his people into a new age of prosperity, but her
mysterious death in Nigeria threatens to destroy the very foundations of
TJ’s world.
Desperate to pick up where his sister left off and uncover the secrets
behind her questionable death, TJ commits himself to unlocking the magical
heritage that has always eluded him. So he enrolls in Camp Olosa—a
remedial magic school for the divinely less-than-gifted in the humid
swamps of New Orleans.
But little does he know, TJ is destined to cross paths with powerful
spirits of old thought lost to time: the Orishas.
Delve into this young adult fantasy based on the mythology of the
West African gods, where TJ will encounter unlikely allies,
tough-as-gatorhide instructors, and the ancient secrets of the
Orishas.
