The Baobab Throne In the heart of ancient Africa, where kingdoms rose and fell with the whispers of the ancestors, a prophecy stirs beneath the roots of the sacred baobab tree. Sixteen-year-old Imani has always felt like she didn't belong in the quiet village of N'golo. Haunted by visions, marked by a mysterious pendant, and drawn to stories older than memory, she soon discovers a secret buried deep in her bloodline - she is the last heir to the lost Kingdom of Nyambele, overthrown by betrayal and swallowed by time. Guided by an old seer, a warrior marked by the lion, and the spirits of her ancestors, Imani must journey through enchanted forests, forgotten cities, and cursed lands to reclaim the Baobab Throne.

A tale of identity, legacy, and the power of remembering, The Baobab Throne is an epic fantasy woven with African mythology, mysticism, and fierce hope.
