STORY SYNOPSIS

The Nation of Nalean is a place like no other. Built from descendants of enslaved Africans, it holds its own gods and pantheon. But now, in the heart of its greatest celebration, its future will be tested—and Nalean must adapt or perish in this celebration of Black American culture unlike anything you've seen before.

Nimala “Nini” Nachaunt always believed she could be whatever she imagined, but her fate was sealed. As a second born child in a society where only firstborns can become gods, her dream to become the Goddess of Imagination ended as soon as it began. But when tragedy strikes Nalean’s Ascension Ceremonies, the entire nation falls to its knees. What do you do when gods are powerless to help you? You believe you can, and everyone knows Nini can. Sent on a journey through time to save the ones she loves, Nini will prove she’s not only worthy of becoming a god, but will shape the destiny of her people, proving a little bit of imagination can go a very long way.

Explore the mythology of Black American culture in this urban fantasy epic set 350 years into the future.

From John Henry, God of Iron & Invention, to Bhoom & Bhap, Twin Gods of Hip Hop, and Hudu, Goddess of Rootwork & Conjure, comes an emotional, anime-inspired, and character-driven love letter to Black American spirituality, heritage, traditions, history, and ancestors.
