In the fires of the Haitian Revolution, where chains are shattered and nations are born, one man walks between the world of the living and the spirits of the dead. Obasi-marked by the Loa, armed with vengeance, and cloaked in shadow-emerges as both liberator and executioner.
As empires bleed and plantations burn, Obasi must decide whether his gift is a weapon of freedom or a curse that will consume him. Haunted by the ancestors, pursued by tyrants, and tempted by gods, he treads the thin line between justice and damnation.
From blood-soaked battlefields to midnight rituals, Shadow in the Haitian Revolution blends history and myth into a tale of uprising, spirituality, and the cost of true liberation.
A tale of uprising. A tale of spirit. A tale of freedom won in blood.
Raymond Sutherland is a British Caribbean author and educator from Salford, England, and the creator of the interconnected VevéVerse universe. His work blends Caribbean spirituality, Celtic mythology, urban fantasy, crime fiction, historical fantasy, and social commentary into mythic stories centred on identity, justice, inheritance, and survival.
Inspired by family, heritage, and the stories of people often forgotten by history, Sutherland's writing explores the emotional and spiritual weight carried across generations. His characters range from spirit marked children and haunted revolutionaries to fighters, kings, vigilantes, and wandering souls navigating worlds shaped by power, grief, mercy, and consequence.
Alongside darker adult works such as the Shadow and Dreadrick stories, he also writes middle grade and young adult novels inspired by his daughters, including Rayah of Dantor and Rivvon. Many of the emotional foundations of the VevéVerse are drawn from his own family, with the character of Obasi inspired by his late father and Mama Elizabeth inspired by his mother.
Blending mythic fantasy with grounded emotional realism, Raymond Sutherland continues to expand the VevéVerse across multiple timelines, genres, and age groups, building a literary universe where spirit, history, culture, and legacy collide.
