The Third Gate: The Asé-Born: Convergence 1
About this ebook
Now, the spark calls to its own. Those who answer become the Asé-Born: souls shaped by the Earth Mother—to protect, to restore their world, and to resist the return of those who would twist the universe.
Those who ignore the call or cannot hear it are named The Dormant. While they can never again acquire Asé, they may assist the Asé-Born, and they can learn to channel mana and learn to use magic.
Sipasé first battled the Dark Gods and sealed them behind a gate forged. with her own essence. However, it weakened her, forcing the First-One to slumber.
Until she awakens, the Asé-Born must protect the Earth and release whatever gods and Orishas remain of the Yoruba pantheon before it’s too late.
