Add to basketWhen sixteen-year-old Adoma Nyarko touches a museum replica of the sacred Golden Stool, something ancient wakes beneath her skin. A whisper follows her home, a voice older than kingdoms, warning of a theft that could erase her people's soul.
Across Accra, the tech giant NovaCorp prepares to launch the HeritageVerse, a dazzling digital archive promising to preserve Ghana's history forever. But behind the holograms and headlines, Ama discovers a darker truth: NovaCorp's machines aren't recording memories - they're stealing them.
Haunted by her late father's mysterious journal, Adoma joins forces with Anokye, a rogue coder. Together, they dive beneath the city's streets, where spirits stir in the tunnels under Independence Square, and the shadow of the stool waits to be reborn.
Now Adoma must face the truth her father died for, that memory is power, and power always demands a price.
In a race against time, one girl will stand between technology and tradition, carrying the weight of a nation's soul in her hands
N. K. Aning is an acclaimed Ghanaian author known for his rich storytelling, vivid imagination, and powerful reimagining of African myths for the modern world. His works span multiple genres from middle-grade adventure and young adult fantasy to supernatural thrillers and literary fiction, all united by a deep sense of wonder and cultural resonance.
For younger readers, Aning's The Adventures of Afia series and Imaginaterium saga deliver laughter, heart, and heroism in equal measure. Teen readers have found their voices reflected in his sweeping mythic series like Pierce and the City of Imaginaterium where ordinary characters rise to confront destiny. For mature audiences, his haunting stories such as The Conjuring, The Infernal Jury, A Song for Eyram and The Most Beautiful Thing explore grief, love, redemption, and the fragile balance between good and evil.
At the heart of N. K. Aning's work lies a simple belief that stories are bridges. They connect the past to the present, myth to modernity, Ghana to the world. His writing invites every reader, child, youth, or adult to see themselves reflected in the extraordinary.
Through every page, N. K. Aning reminds us that the magic we seek in stories is the same magic that lives within us.
