The Gods of Dahomey

Book excerpt: Samira Diallo is a young woman living in Greenwich, Connecticut, where she studies at Cadmus College. As the only African-American gal on the swim team, Samira wows them with her prowess. Opposing her is her rival Lynn Wellington, the blonde queen of the swim team. Lynn sets out to expose Samira, and discovers that she's much more than she seems. As it turns out, Samira has extraordinary powers, and was once one of the Gods and Goddesses of Dahomey ( present-day Benin ). The Gods of West Africa are back, and they've definitely got major plans for the beautiful, wayward Samira, and the rest of Mankind. Opposing the West African Gods are their ancient enemies, the Primordial Ones, and their mortal agents. Will the modern world survive this Divine conflict ?
