Meet The Sentinel Superhero Vigilante

Tia Jackson Created By Author Alicia McCalla

If you love vigilantes, superheroes, dangerous enemies, complicated justice, and powerful Black women who fight back. 

Tia is a criminal defense attorney who knows the law doesn't always deliver justice.

When corruption, violence, and supernatural power collide, Tia is forced to decide what justice really means and how far she's willing to go to deliver it. She becomes The Sentinel.

Meet Oya, Warrior Goddess of the Storm

If you're drawn to mythology, transformation, divine feminine power, and Black warrior goddesses, start with Oya.

Oya is the Yoruba warrior goddess of storms, winds, transformation, and the crossroads. Her power and mythology have become an important part of my fictional worlds and especially the story of The Sentinel.

The Oya Warrior Goddess Lore Book combines story, mythology, worldbuilding, and behind-the-scenes lore.

Read the Lore Book first to understand the mythology behind the Sentinel Superhero Vigilante Series.
