In the heart of West Africa, where ancient drums echo through sacred groves and fire speaks the language of the gods, a murder disrupts the sacred Festival of Fire. Sixteen-year-old Abeni, the orphaned daughter of a forgotten bloodline, is drawn into a mystery far older-and darker-than she imagines. Guided by visions, a shattered mask, and a burning shard of memory, she uncovers a hidden war between silence and flame, truth and forgetting. As secrets stir beneath the soil and masked figures walk under moonlight, Abeni must confront the legacy of her ancestors and awaken a power long buried. But the fire she carries may heal-or consume-everything she loves.
Murder at the Festival of Fire is an epic, mystical adventure woven with the rhythm of African myth, the pulse of tradition, and the fire of a girl becoming more than she was ever meant to be. Some truths demand to burn.
