New author here. I've been browsing and I noticed that there's not a lot fantasy based on real life cultures (maybe apart from Greek, Roman and similar stuff). Would this audience appreciate such stories like these? My novel is based in Ghana (West Africa), about Ghanaians and based on culture and things from Ghana.
Here's the link to my novel (click me) as well as a sypnosis.
Synopsis
The History of Vodun, West African Spirituality is filled with elements such as gods, spiritual realm and ritual sacrifices. We follow the story of twins Nikki and Mike whose worlds are turned upside down by the Third Level Vodun Neil who tries to kill Nikki for performing magic in front of Anfas; Dzidzor, the twins' ancestor, who was abused as a child and was saved by a mysterious character who sends her to Wagadu, a school of Vodun performers. Their worlds collide as they are chosen by specific gods in a pantheon called the Godhead. The influence of the gods grants them more power than they can imagine but when confronted with consequences, they find themselves questioning everything they ever knew.
