Synopsis
Three thousand years ago, Chaos magic, once a source of power for men, turned on them, killing every male in the world of Aka. Mumbi, an immortal warrior blessed by the goddess, created the martriachal empire of Aka, ushering in the age of daughters that has lasted for thousands of years. But no matter how prosperous, no age lasts. A prophecy from the age of war foretells Aka’s doom, which Mumbi has dedicated her immortal life to stop it and her only hope lies in Amala, a lowborn girl born with the power of prophecy. Though promising, her ability is limited to seeing the deaths of those she touches. Together, the two search for the skull of Okalu, which is said will trigger the prophesied doom of Aka while fighting an ancient enemy as old as the age of daughters that want the doom to happen. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Njoki is thrust into power after her mother’s mysterious death, becoming elder of the Anajiru clan, the most powerful of the nine clans of Aka. Young, naïve and inexperienced, she must navigate the harsh world of politics, find her mother’s killer while trying to be a worthy leader for her people. But as Njoki delves deeper, she uncovers Aka’s buried dark secrets, including Mumbi’s carefully guarded past. As the prophesied doom nears, the three women, one immortal, one cursed and one untried, stand between the salvation and end of Aka.

Chapter 1 - SYNOPSIS

There was a time when the world of Aka wasn't ruled by humankind,

when hundreds of races fought to become the one to rule them all. This age would end

when the weakest race of them all discovered magic.

With their newfound power, humankind defeated all of their enemies and 

became the rulers of the world. 

However, with no more enemies to fight, humans made enemies 

amongst themselves.

Then came the worst of all ages,

An age of war that lasted a thousand years,

And it ended when the last man fell.

Thus began the glorious age of daughters, 

one that has lasted for thousands of years.

But all ages end,

And I fear the doom that will end this age is near,

Ushering in the age of chaos.
