The Third Gate: The Asé-Born: Convergence 1

Before gods had names and stars blazed, Sipasé—She-Who-Birthed-the-First-Light breathed Asé: the divine spark within all living things, throughout the cosmos.

Now, as the Old Gods threaten Earth, the Asé calls out once more—awakening souls destined to restore balance and resist a returning darkness.

They are the Asé-Born.

This is the first tale in a gripping collection of dark fantasy short stories rooted in African spirituality and cosmic mythology, each follows our Asé-Born as they confront the echoes of imprisoned gods, unravel soul-bound destinies, and rise against eldritch forces threatening the Earth Realm. Some are called by dreams, others by blood. All must decide what it means to be chosen by a power older than the stars.

From haunted forests to sacred battlefields, from ancestral memories to cosmic gates, The Asé-Born blends supernatural horror, romance, lyrical world-building, and spiritual truth into a saga of shadow, sacrifice, and light.

Perfect for fans of N.K. Jemisin, Tade Thompson, and African diasporic fantasy, this series invites you into a world where awakening your inner divinity may be the only thing standing between creation and annihilation.
