DAUGHTER OF THE SAHEL
Ark of Remembrance: Book 1
The future remembers everything.
But someone is deciding what gets forgotten.
Zahra Sombi is the brilliant architect behind the Ark of Remembrance—a revolutionary memory system built in the heart of Zanzara, a futuristic African city shaped by return, innovation, and imagination. The Ark was created to preserve four hundred years of Black American history—not as textbooks or timelines, but as living experience.
The Ark doesn’t archive the past.
It lets you feel it.
When the system begins to fracture, Zahra uncovers a threat far more dangerous than a technical failure. A silent digital force known as the Hush is infiltrating the Ark, rewriting memory from the inside—softening resistance, erasing truth, and leaving no trace behind.
To stop it, Zahra is forced into an alliance she never wanted.
Elijah Jamison is a brilliant cybersecurity expert with his own secrets—and a history with Zahra that burns as hot as their mistrust. He challenges her authority. She questions his motives. And yet, the closer they get to saving the Ark, the harder it becomes to deny the pull between them.
Because some enemies don’t just collide.
They ignite.
As political pressure mounts, betrayals surface, and the Ark’s intelligence begins to awaken, Zahra must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice—for legacy, for truth, and for a love that could change everything.
Because when memory becomes a battleground,
the heart may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
Daughter of the Sahel is the gripping first novel in the Ark of Remembrance trilogy—an Afrofuturist sci-fi romance about memory, power, and an enemies-to-lovers bond forged in the fight against erasure.
