Die nuwe Afrikaanse prosaboek is ’n viering van verskeidenheid. Dit bied ’n verruimende, vars blik op die Afrikaanse kortverhaal met sowel klassieke verhale deur welbekende skrywers asook voorheen ongepubliseerde verhale deur nuwe stemme. Jan Rabie, wat in die laat-1950’s die kontoere van die literêre landskap verlê het met sy soms absurde, soms filosofiese, soms politieke “prosas”, dien as inspirasie.
Feared and hated for his sinister abilities, Wei Wuxian - the
grandmaster of demonic cultivation - was driven to his death when the
most powerful clans united to destroy him. Thirteen years later, Wei
Wuxian is reborn. Summoned by a young man who sacrificed his soul in a
forbidden ritual, Wei Wuxian is now bound to seek vengeance on the
stranger’s behalf or risk the destruction of his own soul. But when an
evil entity emerges, a familiar face from Wei Wuxian’s past suddenly
appears amidst the chaos - Lan Wangji, a powerful cultivator who will
help shine a light on the dark truths that surround them.
