Meet Bijou’s parents — Kanzi and Mponyaji. They are introduced in Bijou’s Cure: Zeke, the 4th book in the Vampires & Strygoi Witches series. 

Kanzi and Mponyaji’s story starts when they meet as children, continues into Bijou’s story, and expands past that ending until they get their own happily-ever-after. It features a blend of French and African mythologies.
