    About this ebook

    Bulitia is one of the thousands of Africans caught in the web of slavery. He finds himself transported across the sea and sold to a plantation owner in Louisiana. This plantation owner is not quite human as far as the slaves can tell, and she's out for blood; or something. She definitely wants something from Bulitia. He doesn't know what though; and his mind is too obsessed with missing his family to really care. What will all these conflicting desires lead to? Is there anyone out there who can help?

    I'm a Kenyan writer with a wider world view. I love to write stories that will edutain but not bog you down with the lesson. I want to say I write so you can read for fun, but on second thought, my stories do tend to get deep. I don't mean to. It's just how it goes. Enjoy it anyway. cry, laugh, cuss me out, read again.  If you want to cuss me out in person, seek me out on my website. I look forward to speaking with you about my stories.

      Requiscant in Pace - Annemarie Musawale

      Forward

      When I’m writing, I simply let go and let my hands do the work. It’s a straight line from my ‘story brain’ to my fingers completely bypassing my normal thinking brain. This means that sometimes I find that I’ve written about a character I had no idea about before I began writing. Bulitia was one of those. He just appeared in In The Shadow of the Styx like...Hi. How you doing?

      Well...that’s exactly how Phil and Lillian appeared in the as yet unpublished Child of Destiny – Marcus Devereux and made me go back and write a book about them. Its all very convoluted this universe. I go back and forth, being flung this way and that depending on the story. Its direction is not a collaboration with me, it’s a dictatorship. It says go here; and I go.

      This story wouldn’t have been written though if it wasn’t for the East African Friday Feature which are Friday stories written to a prompt by five Kenyan authors. Yes, the Bulitia story was written as a prompt and then people really loved it. One person on Google plus even compared the writing to Anne Rice...one thing led to another, the prompt became a story, and here we are. So enjoy.

      Prologue

      Amillennium ago, a prophecy was made about a child. This child would be something special; his entire being made up of pure magic. It was a prophecy that set many hearts aflutter, either they wanted to control the coming of this child, or they wanted to prevent it. Fair means and foul were employed; dirty tricks and any means necessary were used. Nobody
