The Boy to Beat the Gods

Yearning to save his sister from the mighty Orishas, Kayode stumbles upon a magical fruit that infuses him with unpredictable powers!

With a trickster god, a spiky princess, and a fisherboy by his side, Kayode embarks on an epic adventure to save his sister. But beware! Each Orisha is more powerful than the last. Can Kayode control his newly acquired half-god strength before it runs out?

A fast-paced adventure where one brave boy squares off against six formidable gods, this story details the importance of unity in the face of adversity. It is ideal for fans of ´Percy Jackson and the Olympians´ on Disney+.
