Coming soon: The Hundred Wells of Salaga by Ayesha Haruna Attah:
Chez Alpha Books is excited to begin organizing a book launch for Ayesha Harruna Attah's new book THE HUNDRED WELLS OF SALAGA to be released by Cassava Republic and Random House.

It takes place in the fantasy land of Orïsha, a treat of a fantasy world, fully-formed and entirely thought-out, with a thematically rich mythology. Continue reading:
