PDF download books from DTOA Designs — heritage-rooted stories you can read on any device. Delivered as instant digital downloads after purchase.
Now available: The Warrior Who Returned from Fire — Book One of The Ash-Born Legacy, and The First Shadow — Book One of The 144,000 Guardians.
Representation matters in imagination as much as in history. The DTOA bookstore publishes original fiction that places Black characters at the center of fantasy, adventure, and world-building — the kinds of stories where readers who rarely see themselves as the hero finally do.
Two series are currently available. The Warrior Who Returned from Fire opens The Ash-Born Legacy, and The First Shadow opens The 144,000 Guardians. Free first chapters are available for both, so you can start reading before you buy.
Every title is delivered as an instant PDF download after purchase and reads on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, or e-reader — with no shipping wait and no app required. That makes them practical for classroom reading lists, book clubs, long flights, and gifts sent at the last minute.
These books suit middle-grade and young-adult readers, teachers building culturally rich reading lists, parents looking for stories their children can see themselves in, and adult readers of fantasy and speculative fiction. Ordering for a class or program? Contact us.
