TOKOLOSHE SHIFTER MATES · TRILOGY

Everything you were told about them was wrong.

The Tokoloshe were never the monsters. They were always the protectors. Set in Zimbabwe and Namibia a world hiding in plain sight.

THE TRUTH

Tokoloshes are protectors. The myth that they are evil is exactly that  a myth. The Shoshozas are what your grandmother was actually warning you about.

THE CRISIS

No new mating bond in over a hundred years. The race is weakening. A Tokoloshe can only mate with another Tokoloshe or the near-extinct Sangoma.

THE THREAT

Shoshozas: Tokoloshes infected by an unknown virus that drives them to evil. The Human Hunters exploit the chaos. The Council holds the line barely.

THE SERIES

Three books. Three love stories. Zimbabwe to Namibia. Each heroine finds her way into a world that was never supposed to let her in.

SUPPORTING

TOKOLOSHE · TEAM LEADER

Uncle Gegi

The only brother Sasha’s mother had. A Tokoloshe Team Leader who shows up at the trials, watches from the sidelines, and sends the cavalry if you are two minutes late. The kind of uncle who does not say much but whose presence says everything.

Uncle Gegi

TOKOLOSHE · VAGAVAGA TROOP

Thami

Sasha’s childhood best friend. Zion’s mate. She knows exactly what the pull feels like  wanting to run towards someone and away from them at the same time. When Zion left, she deteriorated. The bond does not negotiate. Sasha remembers that.

SUPPORTING

SANGOMA

Mau

Tobias’s wife. Imari’s close friend and considered family. The sweetest Sangoma Sasha knows, besides Imari. She is part of the inner circle not by title but by presence the kind of person the compound does not function without.

Mau — Sangoma Guider, close ally in Tokoloshe Shifter Mates

SUPPORTING

TOKOLOSHE · DESI

Cornelius

Present when Dej is at his most critical too much blood lost, barely conscious, barely holding on. Cornelius stays. Offers water. Keeps his voice low. The kind of loyalty that does not require explanation or acknowledgement.

SUPPORTING

TOKOLOSHE · TEAM LEADER · DESI

Tee

One of the oldest Desi Team Leaders. The only person who knows about Dej’s decade-long undercover work with the Human Hunters — a secret inherited from Dej’s late father. That kind of trust is rare and earned over a lifetime.

ELDER · SANGOMA

Gogo

A Sangoma Elder. Convinced Six to let the Sangomas train alongside the Tokoloshe troops. The kind of presence who gets things done without raising her voice, and whose wisdom Tobias quotes long after she has left the room.

SANGOMA · CHILD · GUIDER

Chu

Mau’s daughter. A child Sangoma who can telepath with her baby brother TJ through their shared Guider bond. Opinionated, quick, always getting into something. In a world where Sangomas are near-extinct, she is the future of something larger than she knows.

Chu — Child Sangoma, Mau's daughter

SUPPORTING

TOKOLOSHE ALPHA

Sophie

A petite blonde Tokoloshe Alpha from North America. Her twin brothers are both Seekers. She answers to herself which in this world is never a small thing.

TOKOLOSHE ALPHA

Zion

Tokoloshe Alpha and Thami’s mate. Flamboyant dresser, sharp wit, on-the-nose jabs. He is the one announcing at the trials like he was born for a microphone. Dej’s friend which is a harder category to earn than it sounds.

GUIDER · SANGOMA

Tobias

A Sangoma Guider. Mau’s husband and father to Chu and baby TJ. Light eyes, quiet magic. One of the few Sangomas in a world where they are nearly extinct which means his presence in the Vagavaga compound is never accidental.

HUMAN HUNTER · LEADER

Ahmed

Leader of the Human Hunters and Dej’s undercover contact for ten years an alliance inherited from Dej’s late father. Arabic, hazel-brown eyes, dark curls held back by a black bandana. Practical about destruction. The smirk when Dej says burn it down says everything.

THE COUNCIL

THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF THE TOKOLOSHE WORLD

The Council.

Three seats. Three Alphas. The Council governs the Tokoloshe world  managing the Shoshoza threat, the declining mating bonds, and the politics of a race that is running out of time. Their decisions carry weight. Not all of them are wise.

Alpha Soni

TOKOLOSHE COUNCIL · ELDEST. SALT-AND-PEPPER FADE, DRESSED IN TRADITIONAL KENTE. STILL WAITING FOR HIS MATE — THE TOKOLOSHE CALL HIM THE SILVER FOX.

Alpha Soni

Alpha Sheila

TOKOLOSHE COUNCIL · SECOND ELDEST. UNIMPRESSED. POLITE ENOUGH TO LET A MEETING PROCEED, BUT ONLY JUST.

Alpha Sheila — Tokoloshe Council, second eldest

Alpha Mariem

TOKOLOSHE COUNCIL · TALKS A BIG GAME. DEJ HAS NEVER SEEN HIM BACK IT UP.

Alpha Mariem — Tokoloshe Council, third seat

ANTAGONISTS

THOSE STANDING IN THE WAY

The Opposition.

ANTAGONIST

TOKOLOSHE ALPHA · VILLAIN

Chimwemwe

A Tokoloshe Alpha operating outside every rule that holds the world together. He attacked Thami. He told Mariem about Imari. He sits in a cell across from Dej and still manages to look like he is winning. He is the kind of threat you do not underestimate twice.

Chimwemwe

ANTAGONIST

HUMAN · MILITARY

The Commander

Military. Running the experimentation programme. He does not see Tokoloshes as people he sees subjects. The kind of threat that operates behind institutions and paperwork, which makes him harder to kill than Chimwemwe.

The Commander — Military villain, runs the Experimenter programme

WHO’S FIGHTING FOR WHAT
