Ancestral Stories

In a village where the river remembers names and the soil listens, silence is never empty. Noziphozamandla (Gift of Power) returns home carrying a grief she does not yet understand-unaware that death has already crossed her path, that her bloodline hums with secrets older than language. At night, the drum begins to speak. Soft at first. Patient. Calling not to her ears, but to her spirit. Children chant where no children should be. Shadows move without bodies. And something small watches from the dark, waiting to be acknowledged. Rooted in South African ancestral lore and whispered truths of witchcraft, When the Drum Speaks is a slow-burning, unsettling journey into the unseen, where amadlozi (ancestors) walk beside the living, gifts are inherited in silence, and ignorance is the most dangerous curse of all. Some stories are read. Others are answered.

This ain't just a poetry book. This is a resurrection. Sorrows of a Phoenix is a raw, spiritual, and street-rooted collection of 114 long-form poems written for the soul that's had to burn just to breathe again. Jenny Booker's debut is a testimony : To grief, to womanhood, to rage, to healing, to rebirth. These poems are blunt. Unapologetic. Sacred. Written in the voice of a Black woman who's lived through abandonment, silence, survival, and spiritual awakening, this book unfolds in six sections:

Behind all that is ordinary, physical, and earthly, there are forces we cannot see - but we can learn to understand them. It was so even with the first people, and it repeats with every generation, all the way to us. Then loss, death, and pain are no longer ordinary - they can move our understanding forward. Can we open ourselves to that too?

The presence of the dead reaches beyond the limits and understanding of the living-a truth that held in the prehistoric world just as it does today.

Dr. Sarah Chen, a disillusioned agroecologist, uncovers a buried rod in the Ethiopian highlands-an object that sings, pulses, and awakens dying soil. It's not tech. It's remnant. One of twelve pieces of Aaron's staff-an artifact encoded with ancestral memory and divine proof of life. Sarah becomes the anchor of a movement: twelve "carriers" across the continent who begin reactivating the earth's memory through song, ritual, and indigenous knowledge. Their silent revolution grows in bloom rings, underground ceremonies, and reclaimed wastelands. But power doesn't yield. Former Sanitari scientists and biotech empires launch a synthetic response: the Counterbloom, a manmade, memoryless root designed to sterilize and overwrite the originals. A war begins-not with armies, but with root versus code, song versus signal. The climax pits Sarah and the carriers against erasure itself. Their weapons: soil, remembrance, and resistance through renewal.

Before the world learned division, it learned memory. Between land and sea lie two ancient realms who remember the past differently. When a summons rises from the deep too early, a quiet woman named Seris Elowen is asked to cross a boundary few ever do-not as a bride for love, nor as a symbol of alliance, but as a witness to an ending that must not be unseen. Betrothed to a warrior of the water people whose time on land is fading, Seris leaves behind everything she knows to live at the edge of two worlds. In the towers above the tide and the depths below it, she begins to learn that devotion is not always about holding on-and that some choices change the shape of the self forever. A mythic, slow-burn fantasy about ancestry, silence, and what remains when the deep releases what it has been holding.

When thirty-five-year-old CEO Musa Ngema wakes from a nightmare more vivid than ever, he finds ancient eagle-beads on his bedside-beads his late grandmother promised would guide him when the time came. Haunted by fragments of a warrior's last stand and driven by her dying words ("Find me again in this life or the next"), Musa abandons the safety of boardrooms for a journey through ancestral archives, remote villages, and buried covenants. Along the way, he uncovers secrets of his heritage, wrestles with long-buried fears, and confronts a betrayal by his closest friend, Thabo, the one person he thought he could trust. Every relic, every vision, peels back another layer of Musa's identity until, at last, he reaches the place where the warrior woman waits. In that final moment, Musa and she stand face to face, he must reckon with who he has become, and whether he can fulfil the Ember Oath that binds their two lives across centuries.
