THE DJINN OF BAKAARAHA MARKET

KShs1,500.00 KShs1,300.00
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.

KShs1,300.00 KShs1,100.00
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

KShs1,500.00 KShs1,300.00
The quietest lies are often the most dangerous. Amara Ndele thought she had found forever in David Kamau, the man who lit up her world with charm and devotion. But behind his promises and lingering kisses hides a secret heavy enough to shatter everything they built together. What begins as a tender love story in the heart of Nairobi soon unravels into a tale of betrayal, deception, and survival. When a shadowy stranger warns Amara of truths David has buried, her life takes a sharp turn. Drawn from the bustling city to the alluring yet treacherous coast of Mombasa, she finds herself at the center of a dangerous game. Each revelation forces her to question not only David's love but also her own strength. As lies collide with passion, Amara must navigate a labyrinth of half-truths, whispered warnings, and a past that refuses to stay hidden. With her heart divided and danger closing in, she faces an impossible choice: cling to the love that defines her or confront the silence that has been killing her slowly. Silent Betrayal: Love, Lies, and Hidden Truths is more than a romance; it is a psychological drama pulsing with suspense and emotional intensity. Perfect for readers who crave page-turning passion mixed with mystery, it explores the delicate balance between trust and truth, desire and deception, love and loss. Every secret has its price. Every silence leaves its scar. And sometimes, redemption comes not in love's embrace, but in learning to set it free.

Six months ago, he vanished without a trace, a man whose life seemed a portrait of success. Now, he's a ghost haunting a hospital wing, his past a lie, his future a fading prognosis. The world knew him as a symbol of hope and prosperity. But his real story began far from the spotlights, in the war-torn villages of the Congo, where he was born in a bush, not a hospital. Joseph’s journey from a child of war to an academic prodigy in Paris was a testament to his ambition.

He was the golden ticket out, but his "help" came with a price, and the price was his freedom. Now, as visitors from his past threaten to shatter his carefully constructed lies, he is forced to confront the truth of his present, a truth as unforgiving as the disease slowly taking his life. This is the story of a man who fought his way out of the daily struggle of life and war, only to find himself trapped by the very ambitions that saved him. Will he find a way to make peace with his past, or will he die a brilliant but broken man, a secret buried with him forever?

The Silent Threat by Ed Agasa

KShs1,500.00
Some rules are meant to be broken. Others are cages we don’t see until it’s too late. The most sacred rule in therapy is the transference trap: the patient’s feelings are not real. They are echoes. Ghosts of old wounds. To mistake them for truth is a failure. To encourage them is malpractice. This is not the story of a therapist who broke the rules. This is the story of one who discovered that the rules were an illusion—a fragile shield against a truth too terrifying to face: that the room meant to be a sanctuary can become a cage. That the most dangerous person in the world does not carry a weapon. They carry insight. The man who called himself Kyle Summers did not want to be fixed. He did not want to be healed. He wanted to play. And he understood, with chilling clarity, that the most satisfying game is not played on a board, but in the mind. That the ultimate prize is not a king, but a self. The most terrifying monsters do not hide in shadows. They sit across from you in a well-lit room. They speak softly. They listen carefully. They do not break the rules of civilized engagement—they turn them into weapons. Their violence is not of the body, but of the soul: a slow, meticulous unraveling of a person from the inside out. This novel began with a question that still haunts me: What happens when a healer of minds meets a master of manipulation? When the therapist becomes the patient? When the one place designed for safety becomes the most dangerous room in the world? The Silent Threat is a descent into that darkness. May it unsettle you. May it move you. And may it remind you that some threats don’t make a sound, until it’s far too late. --- Ed. Agasa
