TV director Eric Dean Seaton's critically acclaimed “Legend of the Mantamaji” has been featured in over 150 articles in venues such as MSNBC, MTV, Forbes, Buzzfeed, and The Root. Now he returns with a new story in the Mantamaji saga that's just as action-packed, just as magical and even more dangerous. Two months ago, Elijah Alexander was a cocky Assistant District Attorney who wanted everything his poor upbringing couldn't give him. When he learned he was descended from an ancient race of heroes, Elijah became the last Mantamaji and used his mystical ankh and powers of illusion to defeat the evil sorcerer Sirach. But now that this enemy is gone, a new enemy—Gideon's Army—forces Elijah into a fight he was never trained for... and one that forces him to question the very origins of his people. “In Legend of the Mantamaji: Bloodlines” Book One, nothing is safe... not even history. “Legend of the Mantamaji: Bloodlines” is a graphic novel series whose sweeping tale of magic and mystery, heroes and villains, has a fresh look, a modern setting—and an ancient beat.
