Infos

In the dazzling heart of Birnin Zaria, a futuristic African metropolis where ancient terracotta whispers merge with the hum of advanced tech, Emeka Okolo, a young technomancer, confronts a legacy of inherited trauma.  Beneath the city's vibrant veneer of baobab-inspired skyscrapers and hovercraft-filled streets, a hidden chrono-energy vortex, the Ouroboros Rift, cracks open time itself, revealing gateways to Africa's pivotal past.
Emeka's fingers, fluent in data streams and ancestral memory, pull her into vivid encounters with warrior-queen Amina of Zazzau, Ashanti queen mother Nana Yaa Asantewaa, and 21st-century activist Imani - echoes of resilience that both guide and burden her.  But the Rift's power ignites a dangerous ambition within the clandestine Sanusi Collective, led by the enigmatic Dr. Joseph Anderson.  He envisions a utopian future, scrubbed clean of colonial history, a tempting fabrication that threatens to unravel the fabric of time.
Caught in this temporal crossfire, Emeka must choose: preserve time's sanctity, however painful, or rewrite history, offering her people a future free from colonial scars.  Guided by the wisdom of Mama Fatima, the city's griot, Emeka discovers that the past is not simply a story to be told, but a chorus of voices still resonating in the present.
As the Sanusi Collective's actions tear at the city's reality, Emeka realizes that erasing the past is not a path to utopia, but a descent into chaos. To save Birnin Zaria, she must master the Rift's power and confront Anderson within its swirling depths.
Within the kaleidoscope of time, Emeka faces a choice that will echo through eternity.  Will she rewrite history or weave a new narrative of hope within the existing timeline, one that honors the struggles and triumphs of her ancestors?  The fate of Birnin Zaria, and perhaps the timeline itself, hangs in the balance.
