THE NEW MYTHOLOGY
"The Orisha have returned to save humanity from itself…whether we want them to or not. They will
show us a different way, a better way, to live. They will bring the conspiracy to light. They will do battle with the
gods that have oppressed us. They will wage war. They will drag us, kicking and screaming, to the light. It will
be brutal. Lives will be sacrificed. They will be spit upon, vilified, and labeled terrorists. But, they will not falter
because it was written:
Who controls the eight immortals but the number seven?"
The Horsemen is the story of seven ordinary people
thrust into extraordinary circumstances, as the gods
of Africa possess them. The gods have chosen them
to protect humanity from itself…whether humanity
wants them to or not. They combat those who control
the fate of the planet. Through their actions,
the world will never be the same.
