About Orishas Among Mortals An Old Gods Story

What happens when deities need help?They seek out mortals, of course. In this three-story collection, you'll find magical tales of deities among mortals from the Sky Realm, New York City, and Cosmic Planes too far to reach. Find out if Eshu, the gatekeeping trickster, can hoodwink the creation deity, Obatala, to craft him a human body. If he fails, he may never get in contact with a mortal that needs his help. Journey with Oya, the windweaving warrior, as she battles to communicate an important message to one of her divine children on Earth. If she can't, doom will fall upon mankind. War with Shango, the hero of lightning, who fights alongside Thor against an uncompromising mystic foe. If they can't come together to face the dark, there may no longer be light for humanity. Can the Orishas succeed? Find out in this collection of short stories and a novelette tied to the TJ Young & The Orishas series, a young adult fantasy based on the mythology of the West African spirits, where deities travel among mortals for the first time in ages.
