Gullah Time

By Queen Adeola

On the Sea Islands of South Carolina, the tide remembers everything - especially names.

Thirteen-year-old Alana "Lannie" Jenkins has always felt the marsh watching her. But when the water goes still, fog begins whispering her name the old way, and a glowing spiral appears on her wrist, Lannie learns she's been chosen by the Turn - an ancient force that steals names instead of lives.

As the Turn awakens for the Fourth time, Lannie uncovers a hidden history tied to her Gullah Geechee ancestors, a missing foremother taken by the tide, and a creature that believes balance must be paid in identity. When the Turn begins tearing her name from the world, Lannie must decide how far she's willing to go to claim herself back - even if it means crossing into the place where time, memory, and the dead still breathe.

Rooted in Gullah Geechee folklore and Southern Gothic atmosphere, Gullah Time is a haunting, spiritually charged coming-of-age fantasy about ancestry, power, and the dangerous cost of being remembered.
