First World In the ancient continent of Akebulan - a land so rich the gods themselves are said to have shaped it - two rival factions wage a silent war over the world's greatest treasure: knowledge. The Seers, exiled scholars and builders who abandoned the corruption of Kemet, erected the magnificent city of Timbuktu as a sanctuary of learning open to all. Their enemies, the Order of the Red Asp, believe that power belongs only to those who can seize it - and they intend to see Timbuktu destroyed. At the heart of this conflict is Ajo, a thirteen-year-old farm boy from the small village of Gwanaa. When a mysterious summons from Timbuktu arrives at his door, Ajo is thrust into a grueling series of trials designed to forge the Seers' next generation of explorers. Alongside a crew of unlikely companions - each with their own skills and secrets - Ajo must survive a deadly forest filled with ancient beasts, forge bonds that will define his destiny, and prove he is worthy of something far greater than he yet understands. Because the Seers don't just need explorers. They need vessels - individuals bonded to Raizu, a sacred spiritual energy gifted by the Orishas themselves - to help uncover the lost wonders of the world before the Red Asp can weaponize them. Adventure, ancient magic, and the battle for civilization's future begin here.
