The Fire chose Emeka. Now it has chosen again.

Fifteen years after Emeka's death, the pendant hangs cold around his great-great-great-granddaughter's neck. Ada has grown up on stories of the Veil, the Collector, and the Fire that her ancestor carried. But they are only stories. Until the night she sees a ghost on the cliff-and the pendant burns to life.

Ada never asked to see the dead. She never asked to inherit the weight of every soul the Collector imprisoned. But the Fire does not ask if you are ready. It asks if you are willing.

Now the Collector is hunting again-feeding on the lost, the forgotten, the ones no one is looking for. To stop him, Ada must gather the descendants of Emeka's crew: a lucky sailor, a steady healer, a silent shipwright, a map-obsessed scholar. And an anchor-a girl named Ife who has been dreaming of Ada since childhood.

Together, they will sail into the silver sea, face the darkness at the wound's edge, and discover that the first ones-the true creators of the Veil-have been sleeping for centuries. And they are about to wake.

The Keeper's Burden is a West African epic fantasy about legacy, grief, and the impossible weight of a calling you did not choose.
