Description
The gods have returned. But something darker came with them.
In the fractured mega-city ofLagos, 2064, whereholographic prayers flicker on rusted rooftopsandancestral drums echo beneath solar towers, a forgotten boy falls through a crack in the world—and awakens in a realm beyond time.
Afolabiis chosen by four ancestral golems, each forged fromliving Àṣẹ—the raw, divine essence of creation. Marked by glyphs and memory, he becomes the first mortal in centuries to wield true god-crafted power.
But legacy is not a gift. It is a weight.
As ancient pantheons stir andNigeria’s spiritual eliteawaken acrossIle-Ife,Kano, and beyond, every faction wants something from him. Some seek to use him. Others want him erased. And in the dark between worlds, aneldritch force older than the godsprepares to reclaim what was lost.
To survive, Afolabi must become more than a Disciple.He must become a symbol—of memory, of resistance, of fire.
Cinematic. Spiritual. Afro-futurist to its core.If you love mythpunk prophecy, ancient power, and next-gen storytelling rooted in Yoruba mythology—welcome toChildren of Aiyé.

Sign me right up!!
The prose is engaging, wonderful use of words. It's even better if you're familiar with African culture and mythology in general, the references are so interesting.
I can't wait to see this blow up and I also can't wait to read more of this!
