A fragile peace meets the pull of history

Set in a West African kingdom in 1748, the story places Elewa, its young mediator, between two urgent responsibilities. Her newly discovered ability to see and enter moments in time brings her to a slave ship, where the possibility of intervening in the past collides with the truce she has been charged with preserving. The historical setting and fantasy device frame a dilemma about responsibility, the consequences of changing history, and the costs of protecting a hard-won peace.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction set in Africa.
  • Readers who enjoy fantasy premises involving time and historical turning points.
  • Readers interested in stories about moral choices, peace, and responsibility.

Book overview

'An intriguing look at history and moral dilemmas through a fantasy lens'

Kirkus Reviews

 

1748. Elewa is the 'Daughter of Peace', the young mediator charged with holding a fragile truce in her West African kingdom.

 

Then she discovers Yeseni - a gift that lets her see any moment in time and step through it. A vision drags her into the hold of a slave ship. If she intervenes, she might change the past.

If she stays, she might save the peace her people have bled for.

 

Elewa must choose: rewrite history or protect a future hanging by a thread.

 

'A magical, mesmerizing novel in which a gifted girl seeks the wisdom to discern the right path'
