Jeffery and Aja Alexander write illustrated stories about lineage, bodies that rewrite the rules, and the spirits that refuse to stay buried. Jeffery brings martial-arts research and mythic worldbuilding; Aja shapes character, ritual, and the emotional architecture of the page. Together they work in a studio crowded with sketchbooks, family photographs, and notes from elders who asked that certain names be treated with care. The Soul Pick of Power is their debut graphic novel. They live in the United States and continue to build the world of the Pick for readers who need heroes that move like they do.

A Legacy Unbroken

Born the seventh son of a seventh-generation Kongo lineage, a disabled teenager with a photographic mind and an estimated 250 IQ is bound to the Soul Pick—bone of the First Nganga, alive with ancestral fire. The Fates carved his body before birth so the Wielders would have to evolve. He turns his braces and crutches into Three-Point Binding, a combat style no traditional fighter can copy. On his sixteenth summer he dives into the Atlantic, faces the Chainmaker in a sunken slave ship, and frees thousands of drowned souls. Tili, a tiger-lion Anchor Beast, walks beside him. His mother’s spirit is already fading into the blue stone of the Pick. Across America’s forgotten wounds, a parasite called the Collector feeds on history. Unlocking the Arsenal, the Anchor Bow, and a forbidden Bone Sword, he must decide whether he is a copy of the First Nganga—or the author of his own destiny. THE SOUL PICK OF POWER is mythic YA urban fantasy: ancestral magic, disability as evolution, and a boy who refuses to let the past stay buried.
