Okyin is a young man born without a reflection. A predicament that makes him one in 7 billion. He does not know why and no amount of questions he has asked has provided him any answers. On his eighteenth birthday however, everything changes when he receives a book, or rather inherits it from someone long passed and dear to his heart. Spending the remainder of his birthday delving into its pages, its words and accounting begin to warp and contort as a whispering voice suddenly begins to lure him. Promising to deliver him the truth he seeks, he heeds the beckoning call and before long he is teleported to a desert landscape. A place known as the Eye of the Sahara. It is then that a monolithic mirror rises above its desert coffin, looming with its symbol engraved gold encasing. Giving into his curiosity once again, he confronts the mirror and to his stupefaction he sees his reflection for the first time ever. He is normal now, he thinks and it is while he relishes this life altering moment that his reflection sheds its façade of a similitude and pierces through the mirror's surface. Grabbing him, his reflection flings him through the suddenly submersing mirror with cold calculation. Now a victim of an unexplainable mirror ordeal, he must find a way back to the other side, back to his loved ones. In light of this, the journey ahead of him will be anything but easy, his sacrifices will be great and his path often perilous will be weaved by fate. He will make allies and enemies of both gods, demi-gods, mortals, beasts and monsters alike. All in All the things on this other side of the mirror he will witness and see will follow this mirror ordeal to his truth, his odyssey...Okyin's odyssey
--Similar to fictional works such as Marvel's Black panther or The children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, Okyin's Odyssey explores African lore, myths and legends and tells its own story while building new worlds from the foundations of its predecessors.
--Similar to fictional works such as J.K Rowling's Harry Potter and C.S Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, Okyin's Odyssey uses portal fantasy to investigate fantastic worlds. Though In this case, the device used is neither a magical wardrobe nor a passage hidden in the walls of a train station but an ancient and mystical mirror.
--Similar to fictional works such as Neil Gaiman's American Gods or Homer's Epic the Odyssey, the protagonist of the story finds himself in the friendly company or at the mercy of gods and demi-gods, both corporal and ethereal and must strengthen his will to find a way against surmounting odds.
