Nia's Sick Sense

In NSS Book 1, 'The Emergence of Kanti, ' we introduced the readers to a newer kind of folktale. Nia Kpelle, a descendant of the Mano Tribe in Liberia, Africa has discovered that she has been given a gift. All of the elder women of her tribe are blessed with many different powers: the power to heal, the power to foresee the future, the power of unseen strength, the power to predict the weather or perhaps the burden of bearing children and never seeing them grow into age. The Mano women, past and present, have the capability to change their world. As Nia develops her gift and realizes that there is a need for a shero, she becomes someone who can make a difference when there seems to be no vigilante. She struggles between fitting in with Korrupt's elite or standing out, and fighting the fight for young women in her community being abused, torn down, and belittled. In NSS Book 2, 'Fright Knight, ' Nia is now coming into her own as the visions of Racquel's encounter are becoming clearer and more vivid. Korrupt H.S is in full Halloween mode with Nia, Nye, and Rasheeda and her new boyfriend, Casper. Nye may not be the 'Prince Charming' Nia thought he was and may turn out to be a true 'Korrupt Knight' quarterbac
