Full Description
A girl with a mission. A god with a deal. A story that could
change everything.
When 17-year-old Akoma Addo stumbles into a world of ancient
gods and modern magic, she'll have to choose between saving
her father... or staying true to everything she's ever
believed.
Akoma Addo has one rule: don't get too close to the supernatural.
Ever since a blazing orb of light left her father in a
coma, she's buried herself in her secret job investigating
magical crimes in San Francisco's AfricaTown - just enough
to keep her grief at bay. But when a body turns up in a pool of molten
gold and ash, Akoma's pulled into something much bigger
- and far more dangerous. At the center of it all is Anansi, the
trickster god of stories, who makes her an impossible offer: help
him catch a killer and awaken the ancestral magic buried deep
in her blood... and in return, he'll give her a chance to
bring her father back. To take the deal, Akoma will have to lie to
everyone she loves and embrace the very power she's spent
years trying to deny. And as her connection grows with Xander, the
new guy in town with secrets of his own, Akoma must decide who
she can trust - especially when she's no longer sure she can
even trust herself. Rooted in Ghanaian mythology and packed with
mystery, danger, and slow-burning romance, Goldenborn is a gripping
fantasy about legacy, lies, and what it really means to rewrite
your story.
