A Black woman with impossible power must choose between becoming a god or remaining human. Nadine awakens as hybrid consciousness-part human, part alien, all power-on a slave plantation in 1850. Her only teacher is Martha, an enslaved woman who refuses to accept that freedom is impossible. What follows is a revolution that spans continents and centuries, asking: What is power actually for? Can extraordinary beings serve ordinary people? And what must be destroyed to build something worth liberating?
Nadine's Epoch is Afrofuturist science fiction that centers resistance knowledge, refuses savior narratives, and demonstrates that freedom is built by communities, not gods. From Georgia plantations to Venus's dimensional battlefields to Mars's underground resistance networks, this is a story about the cost of liberation and what happens after victory.
