Dear Reader:

Shakir Rashaan continues his erotically charged journey in
Legacy
. The true practitioner of the BDSM culture in Atlanta’s Fetish community exposes the lifestyle of the Nubian Underworld through his characters.

Ramesses, his wife, Neferterri, and their submissives continue the ride by stepping up the pace in this follow-up to
The Awakening.
After inheriting the “Palace” from his mentor, Amenhotep, Ramesses names it NEBU and puts a plan into action to expand the tradition with compounds in other states. Readers witness from a collaring ceremony of a submissive to the highlights of a phone sex line. They experience the relationships of dominants and submissives, and their world of both pleasure and pain. It’s a breathtaking trip to the “dark side” that is unforgettable and full of surprises.

Be sure to check out Shakir’s next title in the series,
Tempest,
in which he expects to turn it up yet another notch.

To My Beloved,

United in battle, until death do we part…

Most men prefer a Queen, but I’m not most men, I prefer an Empress.

I love you.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Man, I don’t know if you’re ready for what’s coming!

Well, on second thought, I think I have an idea with some of my readers and supporters, LOL!

Okay, let me get this part out of the way first. I got some things to say once I’m done.

This is (somewhat) a work of fiction. That means that some of this stuff was made up, and some of it includes players whose names have been changed to protect the (not so) innocent. (But you already knew that, remember THE AWAKENING?)

Trust me when I say that the next installment, TEMPEST, is already being polished up for its debut in December. I gotta keep it hotter with every page I write!

I’m starting to get a little deeper, bit by bit, piece by piece, into the Underworld of WIITWD, and I’ve tried to inspire new things as opposed to just kicking in the same old stuff. Now, for the mainstream “vanilla” folks, this second book might be more than what you can stand, but I promise you it will keep you enthralled and hot! For those that are in the know, you know that I’ve only scratched the surface, and as the layers are peeled away, you’ll love where I’m going with this series.

I used the last book to thank all the folks who really have been in my corner, my family, my friends in and out of the BDSM lifestyle,
so I’m taking this opportunity to thank a whole gang of folks who I couldn’t get to the last time around, m’kay?

To my literary “wife,” N’Tyse, thank you for being my guide in this literary journey, and helping me make the right moves in this industry. Love you, baby!!!

To Zane and Charmaine, the success that I have been able to garner would not have been possible had you not given the thumbs-up and said that this series had potential to do big things. I hope to continue to give you quality projects in a way that only I can bring!

To the reviewers who gave my books a chance: Orsayor Simmons and Book Referees, Johnathan Royal and Books, Beauty and Stuff, Tiffany Tyler and Tiffany Talks Books, OOSA Online Book Club, Michelle Monkou and
USA Today
’s Happy Ever After, and a host of others through the years that read the book and saw the potential and the quality and gave unbiased reviews, thank you so much for helping me grow as a writer and building a relationship with you. I hope to continue giving you books you can brag about to your readers.

To my die-hard readers and supporters, I know there’s a LOT more of you with the success of
The Awakening
, but a special thanks goes out to Nikki Cohen, Alexandrea Ward, Joanne Holah, Sophie Sealy, Antoinette Lakey, Areya Branxton-Chase and Latoya Sanlin, the ladies who have been helping me and my Beloved run the Temples of NEBU Facebook group. Thank you for helping me build my brand while I continue to enhance the “Shakir Experience” and expand the “NEBU Universe” for readers and supporters, new and old alike. I would be remiss if I didn’t say thank you to you all.

As usual, I know I’m missing a whole gang of folks, so just do me a favor and insert your name in this next statement:

I’d like to thank ____________________ for the support and love. I hope to continue to put books out that you will want to tell your friends and family about.

Thank you again, and enjoy
Legacy.

The best legacy I can leave my children is free speech, and the example of using it.

INTRODUCTION

Welcome back, folks, I hope you enjoyed the initial exploration into the Nubian Underworld. I had good time showing you how things can go, good and bad, while educating and titillating. It’s what I do!

If you thought
The Awakening
was a fun ride, wait until you see what I have in store for you with
Legacy
.

When I last left you at the end of
The Awakening,
there was an inner circle present in Dubai to witness the union of my Mentor Amenhotep and His slave paka as husband and wife. You also witnessed some relationships solidify, while others have been regretfully and painfully broken.

Side note: if you’re getting ready to read
Legacy
right now and you haven’t read
The Awakening
yet, you might wanna put
Legacy
down and read
The Awakening
first, or you won’t know what the hell I’m talking about.

So, now that we’re all back in the States, I guess we’ve all tried to get back to some semblance of normalcy. Our newest submissive’s name has changed, having gone through the consideration period with Neferterri and me. Kitana is now sajira. Her husband, Ice, is still going through the process with his Domina, Mistress Sinsual. My home boy, Jay, has gotten together with my now former “concubine,” Candy, which I can’t be too mad about. Besides,
Candy will always be “Daddy’s girl,” of course. There are some other additions on the horizon as well, but you’ll have to read on to find out what may come up.

Neferterri is also breaking in a new male submissive as well, Damian. It has been a very interesting six months indeed.

Neferterri and I have inherited the Palace and what would amount to a small fortune from Amenhotep to take care of the live-in slaves and upkeep of the estate. It has given us the ability to take care of some family matters with the kids and some business ventures as well, including Liquid Paradise. Life is good, definitely, and it has my Beloved and I looking to do some really big things coming into the New Year. When you have millions of dollars to invest and make work for you, the sky is the limit. I’m wondering if my Mentor will like the new additions to the estate and the grounds.

I thought I would allow our little one her own voice, as part of her personal growth with us. Throughout this particular series, starting with Legacy and perhaps beyond, she’ll be able to tell her story, if she’s a good girl.

Now, to give you a premise for the book you’re about to read now,
Legacy
.

With Amenhotep gone from the local POC scene, a transition begins, and everyone in the community is trying to get used to the idea of the power shift within the Atlanta BDSM POC community. Some were okay with it, others obviously not, but that’s how the scene goes sometimes. I made sure to stay aware of whatever might arise and that no one tried to slip in and try to throw a monkey wrench in the plans I had. What plans might those be? Well, I guess you’ll have to find out, won’t you?

In the meantime, I need to leave you now. I have a few business
ventures I need to check on and a collaring ceremony to prepare for.

Oh, I’m betting you’re wondering about the phone call I got in Dubai. Well, you’ll have to read on to find out what that was all about.
