The narrative weaves into existence the eponymous heroine Efemena Aruegodore who is beautiful, friendly, enterprising and industrious, but also bold, tough, strong and sometimes self-opinionated revealing a somewhat feminist trajectory in her character portraiture. The sexual encounter between Efemena and Jamuike, a court clerk, disruptive of the future as it might be, gestures towards possibilities of self-knowing which can sometimes secrete disparate emotional states, initiate psychological tensions and wreck dreams. It celebrates the reverence of totems like pythons and superstitious/ritual practices compete with Christian piety.It portrays an integral world where traditional religious worship exists side by side with Christian ethos, sometimes compromised by ecclesiastical hypocrisy as seen in the case of Boyoboyo, the psychically challenged who Pastor Henry neglects and he dies in straitened circumstances. On the converse, homosexual young men like Dennis nourish and imbibe alternative sexual habits and orientations, which pervert the normative practice of heterosexuality. The story constructs a universe redolent with contradictions that throw into relief the realities of modernity and its accompanying paradoxes. The narrative pendulate between the coming-of-age of Efemena and the entangled circumstances, which like a sticky web, construct the concrete outlines of the self-identity of the heroine as she enters full womanhood. It also represents an intricate transition from a moment of relative inexperience about the things that are and ought to be and the coming to terms with the realities that confront Efemena. It is the eagle's vision, which sees clearly, where others do not; a vision, which liberates, ennobles and empowers in an uncommon and generative manner. It is a vision that propels or galvanizes on the path of new beginnings for the transformation of social and cultural patterns. Efemenais not just a narrative whose motions reflect society and its yearnings. It is also an intensely personal yearning that propels and galvanizes Efemena towards the materiality of life and that of self-knowing. What is outstanding about this narrative is the quality of its vision, which is penetrating, and searing and which privileges the cause of womanhood in Nigeria and Africa. It is a vision, which grows and conquers space with its contagion that unlocks the visceral powers and potentials that are constitutive of women's agenda for liberation and empowerment. Efemena reads well like a masterfully crafted story that it is. The author combines a graceful style with a sometimes measured and, at another, a fast-paced narrative kinesis that shifts seamlessly from page to page, chapter to chapter. The language is racy and compelling and the vision urgent and insistent. This is a story, which waits to be told any other day because of its impressive credentials and persuasive appeal.

Aruegodore e sua família estavam na vila para o enterro de seu falecido pai. Sendo o Okpako entre os filhos de seu pai, Aruegodore foi informado de que Pa Onoharhese havia desistido do fantasma; ele morreu como o homem mais velho de toda a comunidade de Elume. Era uma abominação para alguém ouvir sobre sua morte antes de seu primogênito. Aruegodore deve ser o primeiro a saber e dar seu consentimento para que a morte de seu pai seja geralmente anunciada. Aruegodore deveria realizar todos os ritos tradicionais de acordo com os costumes do clã, apesar de ser um diácono. O superintendente geral de sua igreja o aconselhou a seguir em frente, a fim de evitar retribuições que seguiriam suas gerações se ele não cumprisse, que ele voluntariamente desse a César o que é de César e a Deus o que é de Deus. O povo de Uriamukpe reverencia Oghene, como a divindade suprema de sua terra. As outras divindades eram os Erivwin, que é o culto aos ancestrais.O corpo de Enitekiru estava em chamas místicas. Ela queimou e continuamente gritou: “Erharen! Erharen! ”Seus vizinhos não podiam ver as chamas invisíveis, mas os mais velhos sabiam que ela estava sendo queimada. Convocaram um padre que adivinhou a causa como uma ofensa contra o sogro. Enitekiru confessou à multidão que havia preparado refeições para ele enquanto era impuro. Enitekiru estava casada há um tempo e sabia dos tabus da comunidade do marido. Fejiro Ohakpoma não deixara de listar os costumes e tradições de sua comunidade para sua esposa, com quem se casara em uma comunidade completamente diferente, com costumes desconhecidos. No seu clã, era proibido a uma mulher em seu período menstrual cozinhar ou servir a comida do sogro na casa de seu filho. Por vingança por sua chegada sem aviso prévio, que a fez cancelar uma viagem ao festival de máscaras da vila vizinha, ela preparou as refeições e serviu a ele. Se ela soubesse seu fluxo mensal, seu sogro pedia folhas de perfume, que ele mergulharia em água limpa e borrifaria por toda a casa. Este é um processo de limpeza do ambiente, pois a mulher era considerada impura durante esse período. Ela deveria desistir de divertir até que a maldição cessasse. ”Abominação! Ela profanou as leis de nossos antepassados – disse uma velha e cuspiu no chão. Enitekiru foi rapidamente levada para a vila, Uriamukpe, onde o marido morava em uma reunião de família. Ela relatou sua ação e Pa Onoharhese ficou consternado, mas prometeu que não poderia deixar a esposa do filho morrer. Ele exigiu que uma bebida fosse comprada por alguns membros da família dela, que ele costumava orar e colocar na boca dela. Imediatamente os deuses foram pacificados, ela voltou à vida e pediu comida. Ela consumiu o garri que recebeu em uma cabaça de tamanho grande como um glutão. Quando ela ganhou força suficiente, Fejiro a levou de volta para sua casa em Amukpe. Ele não podia suportar a maneira desacreditável de como os membros de seu clã o encaravam como se ele não tivesse ensinado sua esposa sobre os costumes do clã. “Oso Onoriode, por favor, preciso de dinheiro para comprar um novo invólucro holandês para a próxima reunião da cidade das mulheres.” “Enite, mas implorei para que você usasse o invólucro da última reunião para poder pagar as mensalidades da escola de Aruegodore na minha próxima salário. – Você está dizendo que meu invólucro e ornamentos não são importantes? Os livros de Aruegodore são sua prioridade do que a imagem de sua esposa em público, não é?

Gladiator meets Romeo and Juliet in this "spellbinding fantasy" trilogy (Kirkus Reviews) set in ancient Persia! They are the light against the darkness. The steel against the necromancy of the Druj. And they use demons to hunt demons…. Nazafareen lives for revenge. A girl of the isolated Four-Legs Clan, all she knows about the King's elite Water Dogs is that they leash wicked creatures called daevas to protect the empire from the Undead. But when scouts arrive to recruit young people with the gift, she leaps at the chance to join their ranks. To hunt the monsters that killed her sister. Scarred by grief, she's willing to pay any price, even if it requires linking with a daeva named Darius. Human in body, he's possessed of a terrifying power, one that Nazafareen controls. But the golden cuffs that join them have an unwanted side effect. Each experiences the other's emotions, and human and daeva start to grow dangerously close. As they pursue a deadly foe across the arid waste of the Great Salt Plain to the glittering capital of Persepolae, unearthing the secrets of Darius's past along the way, Nazafareen is forced to question his slavery—and her own loyalty to the empire. But with an ancient evil stirring in the north, and a young conqueror sweeping in from the west, the fate of an entire civilization may be at stake… So begins an epic story of adventure, romance and betrayal that leads to undiscovered magical realms and a final confrontation with a demon queen bent on destroying them all. Praise for the Fourth Element Trilogy "A spellbinding fantasy with some moral weight and a meatier narrative than usual, one likely to leave readers quite satisfied... This tale’s grand scope is set off beautifully by its intimate start. The story grows wonderfully from such a small seed, and it is the moral and subjective implications of the vastness and impersonality of the Empire that work so well to drive the narrative. The plot builds effectively, and maintains a swift pace. Nazafareen’s initial simplistic motivation, hatred, becomes complicated by her link to Darius, and evolves into something much more intriguing and complex. This transition is helped by the clarity with which the characters are drawn. The immensity of the Empire occasionally threatens to smother the personal tale at the heart of the story, but, like shadows around a candle flame, it never quite manages that feat." -Kirkus Reviews "Fantasy lovers who enter this world will be wooed by its expansive world-building, soul-crushing romance, deeply layered characters, and page-turning twists." --Flylef Reviews "One of the best trilogies I've ever read. I will read anything by Kat Ross. Hats off to her for creating these wonderful characters and making us fall in love with them!" --Cover to Cover Reviews "Kat Ross turned me into a puddle of emotions with her final book of the Fourth Element series! Action, betrayal, romance and demons conclude this story which can keep anyone captivated till the final page." --Milky Way of Books "An addictive, action-packed, glorious page-turner!" -Am Kinda Busy Reading "I really hate the word ‘epic’ because, let’s face it, it’s so overused and it’s lost its true meaning, but this book [The Midnight Sea] deserves that word." -Book Reader Chronicles "This is truly a grand finale of a book, mysteries from the very beginning of the series are put to rest and our heroes win in unexpected ways. Queen of Chaos delivers a beautiful ending that is perfect as it is but is left open enough for another story to seamlessly fit in." --Bibliobibuli "I'm never a read-a-book-in-one-sitting kind of person, but I totally did it with Queen of Chaos. Then I hugged my Kindle and wanted to start the series all over again." --Rattle the Stars "Extremely engrossing and so fast-paced...A truly exceptional series." --The InkedIn Book Blog

Persepolae has fallen. Karnopolis has burned. As the dark forces of the Undead sweep across what remains of the empire, Nazafareen must obey the summons of a demon queen to save Darius's father, Victor. Burdened with a power she doesn't understand and can barely control, Nazafareen embarks on a perilous journey through the shadowlands to the House-Behind-the-Veil. But what awaits her there is worse than she ever imagined… A thousand leagues away, Tijah leads a group of children on a desperate mission to rescue the prisoners at Gorgon-e Gaz, the stronghold where the oldest daevas are kept. To get there, they must cross the Great Salt Plain, a parched ruin occupied by the armies of the night. A chance encounter adds a ghost from the past to their number. But will they arrive in time to avert a massacre? And in the House-Behind-the-Veil, Balthazar and the Prophet Zarathustra discover that they have more in common than meets the eye. But is it enough to salvage the necromancer's bloodstained soul and thwart his mistress's plans? As a final showdown looms between Alexander the Great and Queen Neblis, the truth of the daevas' origins is revealed and three worlds collide in this thrilling conclusion to the Fourth Element series.

Behold! the new dawn and a new era for our world. We are about to discover and enter the pulse and heart beat of the world. The world is currently in a transition from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the present and most current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And this global transition and agenda, as the heart beat and standing order for the world as championed by the United Nations (UN) is supposed to be the focus of all Nations of the world for the benefit of all humanity. And as it was agreed by the heads of state and government of all the UN member states at the Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015, that the SDGs were to be adopted as the 2030 Agenda for the total transformation of the world.But alas! The world populace- children, youths, men and women- the supposed beneficiaries are completely and totally in the dark as to the meaning and implications of the Sustainable Development Goals. And here lies the greatest challenge and barrier- the uninformed 70-80% of world population on the unfolding of the SDGs from the MDGs.Thus, here is the breakdown and simplified language for all and sundry to understand and be actively involved to benefit maximally from the SDGs. This book therefore is a road map and blue print to guide, enlighten and mobilize all people of the world towards this noble global goals. You have a role and a duty to our world and here are the master plans and strategies.
