The Black God
Amazon/Shark Trust
Published Oct 18 2018
Echolo, the last human tribe, is in crisis.
It has been 200 years since the passing of the sun and there are none left who remember a land without darkness. As food grows increasingly scarce so are the tribesmen more concerned with survival than stories of the past, combing the plastic wastelands for their next meal, torch in hand and ears pricked, fearing what else may be prowling the gloom.
Inside the walls of the tribe, famine has taken hold and many are turning to cultist rituals. Conflicts are starting to bubble; battle lines are being drawn, but one young tribesman remains silent through all of it.
His name is Manuk and he is guarding a secret.
It is a secret of the old world that he knows may prove the key to his people’s salvation or the seed of their destruction. It is a hope. A danger. And it must remain hidden if he is to survive.
