In RED TEARS, John B.

Beloved unveils a terrifying hidden world: the Dynasty Market, a gate built from human skeletons; an underground abattoir where powerful rulers feast on human flesh and blood; and a mysterious river voyage where six mermaids carry politicians beneath the waves for seven hours of ritual.

Queen Daliah Kabul, half-human and half-python, commands: “Rig, kill, maim, and rule.” Only Prince Foray Maxwell, an American-born prince who refuses the blood oath, dares to resist.

With Reverend Rollins Dura, he builds four ark-shaped prayer garrisons and launches a spiritual battle through midnight prayers.

RED TEARS is a gripping African story and dark Afrocentric fiction blending African mythology, political intrigue, supernatural suspense, Christian faith, spiritual warfare, and prophetic revelation. A haunting story for every African who has ever asked: Why?
