The Shadows We Keep
Amara never wanted to return to the family estate—a house heavy with silence, where her childhood ended in shadows. But when tragedy pulls her back, she steps into a place alive with memories and questions that refuse to remain buried.
Every hallway echoes with what was left unsaid. A locked room conceals more than dust. And an old portrait in the attic watches, waiting, as if it knows the truth Amara has tried so hard to forget.
As secrets unravel, Amara is forced to confront the betrayals woven into her bloodline—the lies that shaped her past and the choices that will define her future. Love and loyalty clash against deception and silence, until she is left with one question: can she break free from the shadows, or will they claim her too?
Blending emotional depth with gripping suspense, The Shadows We Keep is both a family saga and a psychological mystery, a novel about the truths
THE DJINN OF BAKAARAHA MARKET
Bakaaraha Market in Mogadishu is a world of noise, dust, color, and constant motion—where fortunes rise and fall in a single day. But beneath the shouting of traders and the clatter of goods lies another world entirely. A world only a few can see. A world of djinn.
Thirteen-year-old Yare has lived most of his life inside the market, sleeping between stalls and surviving on odd jobs. He believes he has seen everything—until the morning a shadowy figure with amber eyes sits on Eedo Hawo’s tea counter and speaks to him.
Terrified yet curious, Yare is pulled into a hidden struggle between invisible spirits and powerful traders who rely on djinn to secure wealth, sabotage rivals, and ignite fear. The most dangerous of them all is The Merchant of Smoke, a djinn entity who thrives on chaos and secrets.
With the help of Zuraale—a playful but unpredictable young djinn—and the wisdom of a blind tea-seller who knows more than she reveals, Yare begins to understand the cost of these supernatural bargains.
But every choice he makes has consequences.
Every favor he performs strengthens a force that could consume the entire market.
As tensions rise and the market spirals toward catastrophe, Yare must confront both human greed and spiritual darkness. He learns that courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision to stand anyway—even when you are small, alone, and trembling.
The Djinn of Bakaaraha Market is a gripping, emotionally rich tale of survival, faith, and the unseen battles fought in the shadows of Somali life. It blends fantasy with cultural realism to create a story that is both wildly imaginative and deeply human.
Where the Echoes Sleep
In a world where memory spirals beneath the surface of the land, two quiet travelers—Toma and Lami—walk a path shaped not by destination, but by stillness. They are not heroes. They carry no prophecy. But the echoes of what was and what might be hummed through their steps.
As they journey across hush-fields, spiral vaults, and wordless clearings, they begin to learn: the land does not remember what you say, only how you listen.
Where the Echoes Sleep is a lyrical and meditative novel about presence, letting go, and the invisible threads that hold us to the world—and to each other. A story that unfolds like breath, this is not a tale to be chased, but one to be entered
Whispers in the Attic by MASELA OHOKO
Some secrets never die. They whisper until someone listens.
When fifteen-year-old Amara moves into her late grandmother’s crumbling house in the countryside, she expects silence, not secrets. But from the moment she discovers a hidden attic door and the strange red ribbon tied to its handle, Amara’s world begins to unravel.
Voices call to her from the shadows. A diary she didn’t write begins to fill with her deepest fears. And a mirror in the attic reflects more than just her face.
As nightmares seep into daylight and family truths twist into something darker, Amara must confront the spirits of the past and the ghost of a girl who was never laid to rest. Because in this house, silence is deadly, and some whispers demand answers.
Whispers in the Attic is a chilling coming-of-age horror tale about identity, grief, and the buried trauma that refuses to stay buried.
