Wolves of Duty is a story so special to me because it is the book i have always wanted to write. It is by no means perfect but its perfect to me.
While featuring a black cast was important to me to do after my trilogy and prequel, it was more about featuring a narrative that was not based in trauma or oppression as so many black fiction books are prone to do. While there are many stories to tell in this setting, i did not want to add to it and Duty is my love letter to Black Excellence.
Its a book about self discovery, about love, about friendship and about betrayal. It might seem cliche but its not your 'typical' werewolf book because its so much more than that. Its not about dominating Alphas being in heat or helpless virgins waiting to be deflowered by a hunky wolf named Connor lol
Duty is about a young woman who has unconsciously being mentally abused and her fight to escape a world that would deny her the right to be free of her obligations and use her for their own nefarious aims. Duty is a fantasy snapshot of a world we are slowly regressing into and I hope that people take from it, the passion and depth that went into writing it.
