In a kingdom full of darkness and evil, absolute wickedness exists, and it will continue to exert its power unless stopped by those who are supernaturally gifted. Covens & Wizardries is a dark fantasy novel that introduces Nma, who represents the punisher of evil. But she is unaware of the great powers within her. She possesses supernatural powers to stop all forms of evil emanating from wicked covens and other evil ones, but does not know how to use her gift. Daniel (or Nwanem) represents how far evil can go if not stopped in time. Readers will meet the Awesome people, Aduba the fake wizard and hunter, the witches, the houses of wizardries, and Otito the mentor. Will they teach Nma what she needs to know? It is up to Franklin, Victor, Alison, Kareem, and Ogunjimi to paint the true picture of evil seekers and their end. They teach that in the end, evil does not pay, though in the beginning it may look promising. The story also shows that you do not need to offend evil or wickedness before it can come after you!
