Shards of the Past (Paperback)

Paperback. The sky doesn't just fall, it remembers. Nyota Karungi never asked to be chosen. When a raid drives her into the forbidden Oba archives, she touches a buried intelligence called Jua and awakens a history the techno-theocratic High Collective tried to delete. Marked by a split-eclipse sigil and haunted by the Odu of Storms - "When the sky splits, remember your name" - Nyota becomes the fracture in a world where memory is power and forgetting is control. For readers of N. K. Jemisin's Broken Earth and Pierce Brown's Red Rising, this Afrofuturist science-fantasy hurtles through storm-lit Riftlands, sky-gates, and jungles of ghost circuitry. Expect West African mythology braided with Yoruba magic; post-apocalyptic stakes colliding with AI overlords, cyberpunk drones, and a ruthless technotheocracy; found-family bonds forged under fire; and the slow ignition of a dangerous, possibly world-saving connection. It's an epic, character-driven saga where memory magic rewrites the battlefield and the past fights back. Will Nyota become the regime's ultimate weapon; or the key that reopens what the world was ordered to forget? Step through the Rift; and remember what power tried to erase.
