Firstborn of the Sun
An epic fantasy debut inspired by the Yoruba myths.
Everyone is blessed with agbara, the power of the sun. Everyone except her.
In Oru L'ore is the only one without agbara - the ability to harness power from the sun. And must conceal it from everyone. Including her best friend, Alawani.
But when the gods declare Alawani an l fa , he must be stripped of his power in a brutal trial likely to kill him. Unwilling to bear his death, L re vows to rescue him.
But in a desperate attempt to channel agbara an icy magic pours from her hands; a power she learns originated from a forbidden, secret land beyond the walls of Oru.
One where she and Alawani must now seek sanctuary and discover a secret that could bring the Kingdom to its knees . . .

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
