Child of Destiny
by Annemarie Musawale
Description
New Orleans has a reputation. Witches, black magic, white magic, talking to spirits, communing with the spirit world; all coexist there ever since the French émigré’s first brought their black slaves to work the sugar cane, and they came with their magic from Haiti and West Africa: juju, Papa Legba, and all of that. The fictional town of Le Marais is a small representation of that, only here, the magic is done in secret because the majority of inhabitants of this town are white Anglo-Saxon Americans, whose only god is the almighty dollar.
The murky world of magic and the all-American town come together in the person of Mya Andrewes, a black African descendent of these traditions, who goes to school with the children of the other inhabitants in the town. She is an outcast, though, because she is strange. Leo Devereux, on the other hand, is the very epitome of white Anglo-Saxon America. He is talented and he has his priorities straight—get that almighty dollar—and he is dating the “prom queen”, too. So something pretty extraordinary must happen to bring these two people together and help them fulfil their destiny.
This extraordinary thing is magic, which attacks the “prom queen” and forces Leo and Mya together in an attempt to save her. That’s all they need. Just a little time together for their lives to never be the same again. What follows is a magical love with twists and turns and an unexpected result.
