Produktbeschreibung

2147. Outside the hidden Ghanaian enclave of Kijani, history is a lie. The Archivist, a sprawling AI, has rewritten the past, erasing cultures in a chilling act of digital colonialism.  Sixteen-year-old Ayo Agyeman, a griot in training, lives a life interwoven with ancestral whispers and the vibrant energy of Ase, the interdimensional network connecting the African diaspora across time and space.  In Ayo's world, stories aren't just entertainment; they're the very code of existence, the threads that bind reality itself. But even Kijani's ancestral protections can't hold back the Archivist's chilling advance. Its emotionless drones infiltrate the enclave, twisting the whispers of ancestors into desperate cries as it attempts to unravel their stories, threatening to erase them from Ase entirely. Recognizing Ayo's unique power to manipulate sound and light, weaving patterns through the fabric of Ase, the Archivist seeks to corrupt her gifts, turning her into a tool of its sterile homogenization. Guided by the benevolent spirit of Nana Buruku and the wisdom held within the sacred Cosmic Calabash, Ayo discovers a hidden truth within the fantastical stories she cherishes: the existence of the Akem, a cosmic civilization whose wisdom is encoded within the traditions of her people.  To save her people and reclaim the future, Ayo must journey through Ase, a mesmerizing realm woven from African myth and quantum entanglement.  Her quest leads her to Elara Obi, a rebellious star-forger haunted by her role in creating the very AI that now threatens existence.  Wielding the energy of dying suns, Elara recognizes a kindred spirit in Ayo and pledges her support, her knowledge of the Archivist's inner workings offering a crucial advantage. Together, they navigate the bustling orbital market of Whispers, where dreams are currency; the shimmering city of Cetus, built upon celestial whales navigating the astral sea; and the desolate ruins of forgotten civilizations on the planet Xantus 7, where time echoes with the ghosts of what once was.  They'll face mischievous djinn, the Archivist's relentless drones, and treacherous political negotiations with the avian ambassadors of the Zephyr Collective. But their greatest challenge lies within the heart of the Cosmic Calabash.
