Everything was taken from him. His parents were lost, his home destroyed, and his identity supplanted with a name that repeats the symptoms of his brokenness. With a word, the path before him becomes clear, but with every step he takes towards a life beyond the street, the more he realizes that the threat of that night follows him still.

The Word of Y'Neshu: Heart of the Ijeya is a 112,000-word Pan-African fantasy novel that blends linguistic and cultural aspects from across the African diaspora to create an alternate universe that taps into the power of language and culture. Audiences will be treated to interesting takes on legendary creatures from a number of African mythologies, vibrant environments untapped by the modern age, magic born from the soul of Y'Neshu's people, and Languages of Power born from hard-sought commonalities in African phonetics. This is more than a story; this is the first step on a bridge to a heritage that those in the African diaspora have been deprived of for too long, and a powerful expression of everything that we are. This is Y'Neshu, and I bid you welcome.
