Welcome to Litsy!

I am the beginning and the end.The darkness that creates and devours.The virgin, the mother, and the barren one.The sacred whore.I am the stillness from which chaos emerges.Meera is one of five women who each hold a part of the defeated goddess of death and chaos within them. When the group's high priestess is murdered, Meera and her three remaining spirit sisters must undergo the Waning ceremony for the second time. Only one of them will be chosen to serve as a vessel for the goddess again. She will become high priestess and mother of witches. The other three women will die trying.As Meera strives to survive the ceremony, she must also contend with the greed of the noble class and the faith her fellow Endzone laborers have put in her. Will she be able to kill the king and end his oppressive regime or will the king be successful in his quest to birth a new evil into the world? With only three months left until the Waning, time is not on Meera's side.Set in the desert kingdom of Ile-Oja, the waning reimagines aspects of Yoruba culture and spirituality to create a dazzling world unlike any other.
