The Edge Of The World

BY THE EDGE OF THE SPEAR BOOK 1

BY THE EDGE OF THE SPEAR is a saga of Africa, a tale of conflict and love, unbreakable bonds, magic and the wonder of the African experience. It follows the mighty deeds of several heroes and heroines. The story is set 300 hundred years ago in East Africa where three communities are in conflict. The Maarati are pastoralists while the Anyaga are farmers. The two have had an uneasy co-existence with regular feuding for many years. Then enter the third force, the Nkolwane, who are sweeping everything in their path as they expand from the south, using both wizards (called Innaxzi) and warriors. The story follows the adventures of our hero Kiama, a youth who, though quite weak in warrior skills, is nevertheless quite strong in the arcane arts, something that he doesn’t know about until he is “awakened” by an old woman. The Maarati and Anyaga communities ascertain through their seers that there is a community from the south that is destroying all other communities in their path. They decide to unite their forces to combat this common threat. Kiama is one of the few who will have an intimate but painful knowledge of the southern enemy early on. The two communities marshal their might both arcane and force of arms to counter their enemy. We have Muniu and Runo of the Anyaga, mighty warriors with something to prove, and then there’s Lerionka, regiment commander of the Maarati and his beloved and beautiful Ntalei, their love beset by so many obstacles. There is Lengoibon, also regiment commander and a vicious rival of lerionka, there is Mukungu, a crafty, evil and cunning elder of Anyaga. Need I mention Kui, beautiful, proud, and oh so gifted lady of the Anyaga, Uloziba the stunningly beautiful Innaxzzi spy and scout of the Nkolwane, Wangari seer of Anyaga, and Samute the Oloibon of Maarati, each unique and powerful. This tale has not been told. This tale will now be told. This tale will keep you riveted to your seat. We promise you that.

Error Of The World

"Fuck, its so hot." Ken wiped the sweat from his forehead as he looked up the sun, looking like it was closer than usual. "This is not normal." He was coming back from his shopping trip, it was pay day and he wanted to buy a new gaming laptop for months. "Once I get home, I am locking myself in my room and turning on the a/c for hours while gaming." Just thinking about it made the heat more bearable. His house was coming into view now, all he had to do was cross the road but, "Dammit, why are there so many cars when its this hot!" He used a paper to cool himself down even just a little. He waited and waited but the cars just kept coming, there was no end to it. "Ok, this is just ridiculous, there is usually not many cars passing through our little town, what the hell-" He looked to his right and knew why there were so many cars rushing in the opposite direction. "Holy shit!" He dropped his 40k credit laptop and ran in the opposite direction at full speed, though his full speed was laughable as he was never active, he was a shut in who did his work online. He pulled whatever strength his body could muster up. "Fuck fuck fuck, what the hell is going on!" He was already out of breath but he knew, stopping meant death. He looked back again and saw the heatwave rushing at him, killing all the things in its path. He pushed his body further, almost tripping multiple times, even blood started coming from his mouth, the heat was already affecting him, even from far away. "Hah hah hah hah, think, think, think dammit." He spotted the lake where him and his friends always swam for fun. It was not that deep but it was his only option, the heatwave was getting too close. He pushed himself one more time, reaching the lake and jumping in.
