Book Synopsis

Ancient demons. Shape-shifting sidekicks. Sword-swallowing assassins. Welcome to Olori....

'Epic storytelling with a sharp wit. I love Kòkú!' - Louie Stowell, author of Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good

When 13-year-old Koku Akanbi accidentally unleashes a demon on a school trip, he has no idea what he's set in motion.

Suddenly Koku is whisked away from his life in London and transported to his family's homeland of Olori, a mysterious place in which darkness is about to disappear forever - along with the magical creatures living within it.

Accompanied by two super-powered sidekicks, Koku embarks on a mission to save Olori - and unlock his own extraordinary power...

'Sharp, witty, original and thrilling' - The Guardian

Set in a unique magical world inspired by West African mythology, Koku Akanbi and the Heart of Midnight is the start of an unmissable new fantasy adventure series for fans of Marvel and Percy Jackson.
