Synopsis: The Book of Silence

In ancient Africa, Orunmila, the greatest prophet of all time, doesn’t understand why his divination tools went quiet. In our time, a young journalist rides the busy streets of Sao Paulo, Brazil, trying to escape a mission that shouldn’t have been his. In the first book of the series, mythical kings, queens and warriors like Ogum, Shango, Oshosi and Iansan work alongside modern day mortals to rescue the 16 princes of fate in a surprising and original narrative of West African gods and goddesses worshiped in some regions of Brazil today.
