Enzi Za Giza (Eons of Darkness)
In the kingdom of Kivuli, light is worshipped, nobles are divine, and the poor exist only to bow.
When a village boy named Sefu Zuberi is chosen to compete against a noble’s heir in the royal games, the slums erupt with hope. For the first time, the lowborn believe they might stand equal to their masters.
But hope is dangerous.
Before the games can begin, Sefu’s family is slaughtered by the serpent-crested nobles of House Nyoka, their ashes left as a warning to all who dream beyond their station. The Walinzi wa Nuru, the so-called Guardians of Light, turn their backs and call the massacre justice.
That night, a boy’s heart dies.
Years later, a broken Sefu wanders the ruins of a forbidden temple and discovers the Kitabu cha Mauti, the Book of Death. Its whispers promise him power beyond the gods. Shadows carve into his flesh. Corpses rise at his command.
The boy who once carried the hopes of the poor is reborn as the world’s greatest curse.
Driven by vengeance, Sefu will unravel the illusion of light that rules Kivuli. He will turn saints into sinners, heroes into monsters, and peace into a lie.
In his eyes, life is nothing but ones and zeros, alive or dead, nothing in between.
