The Mannamong

Spirits of nature. A girl chosen by fate. A story of balance, hope, and survival.

What is The Mannamong?

Kali (Kay-lee) Teal has always sensed the unseen, but when she falls mysteriously ill, she learns the truth—her body has become the vessel for Tontorus, a rogue mannamong with a dark past. Now, she must navigate the world of spirits, battling fear and doubt as she seeks to uncover the mannamong’s hidden history and her own connection to their fate. With each discovery, Kali is drawn deeper into an ancient struggle between order and chaos, where the truth about her soul—and the spirit bound to it—could determine the future of both mankind and the mannamong.
