Eshe — J.D. Mason

She's the first and Andwele Abioye has no blue print for how to fulfill an ancient prophecy that he's inherited from his forefathers, the Sons of Sango, an order of demigods tasked with facilitating the awakening the spirits of Oya's dragon daughters. The objectives have been passed down from generation to generation and have been drilled into Andwele and his brothers. And they are crystal clear. Gain her unwavering trust -- all of it before the Trial by Fire begins. Don't die. Reap her human soul. Awaken her dragon spirit. And, oh yeah. Don't die.Eshe Taylor is emotionally unraveling and doesn't understand why. She's living in a waking dream and with each passing day, her neurosis seems to be getting worse. She can't sleep or eat. Eshe can't focus on simple tasks and is becoming overwhelmed by paranoia, anxiety, emotional imbalances that are becoming unbearable. One evening, her worst fears come to light, and Eshe finds herself living one of her nightmares. But what she doesn't understand is that things are about to get much worse, and all she has to help her survive this is the man who manipulated her and dragged her into an unbelievable destiny she wanted no part of.
