New YA novel "Kenny and the Heiresses of Surith: Book One"

"Kenny and the Heiresses of Surith: Book One" by Joseph K. Adou, which has achieved Amazon Bestseller status in the "Black & African American Fantasy Fiction" category, has been released worldwide. This 296-page work of young adult fantasy follows Kenny, a young man raised by his Godmother Umba and doing his best to fit into her mysterious world of divinity and ritual. As Kenny comes of age, he ventures away from home to learn about his deceased mother, his family's history, and the connection they share to a divine entity named Surith.

Traveling first to Boston, his mother's birthplace, Kenny soon begins to understand the powerful lineage he's a part of: women blessed with special powers known as Heiresses of Surith, including both his mother and godmother. As his journey unfolds, Kenny connects with another Heiress, Nikka, and she draws him into a web of danger and conspiracy that goes far deeper than he could have imagined.

Combining contemporary life with a rich tapestry of mysticism, history, and references to multicultural mythology, Adou brings his thrilling story to life and sets the stage for future books in the series. Through Kenny's adventures, readers will find fascinating characters, surprising moments, and an inspiring examination of cultures around the world. Kenny, a young African American seeking understanding and connection, confronts challenges to his worldview and learns about new ways of living, bringing audiences along for transformative moments and blossoming personal growth.

Throughout the book, themes of family, friendship, and caring for others remain central to Kenny's development. As he learns more about the powers of the Heiresses of Surith, his own role in divine prophecy, and the dangers all around him, Kenny must find the courage to persevere through fear, doubt, and troubling - but necessary - sacrifices.

This exciting tale's trailer video recently received over 120,000 views on TikTok as part of the platform's "BookTok" subculture, resonating with young audiences and highlighting reader interest in YA fantasy that explores African American heritage and multicultural wisdom.

A powerful introduction to Adou's forthcoming series, the novel builds a foundation of intrigue and inspiration as Kenny probes the mysteries of his family history and the origins of Surith's divine gift.

Kenny and the Heiresses of Surith: Book One (ISBN: 9781963844450) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes & Noble and Amazon. The paperback retails for $24.99, and the ebook retails for $3.99. Review copies and interviews are available upon request.

From the back cover:

Centuries ago, a divine feminine entity named Surith settled on Earth and offered divine powers and extraordinary abilities to millions of women. Some girls and women today are still unaware they received such gifts, while others have embraced them to protect their close ones and make a better life on Earth. Kenny's mother was one of the select few, and she was considered one of the most powerful heiresses of Surith on Earth. After her death, Kenny was taken under the tutelage of his godmother, Umba, who was also an heiress of Surith and a close ally of his mother. Having never known his mother, after graduating college, Kenny decided to travel around the world and discover all the countries and cultural places his mother experienced when young. He hoped in this way to try and solve the mystery of Surith's origin. During his first trip to his mother's birthplace, Boston, he meets another heiress of Surith, named Nikka, who plunges him into a world of conspiracy even more dangerous and mysterious than he had anticipated. This is the beginning of the story of Kenny and the Heiresses of Surith.
