The Civilization (2024), Iskanchi Press

A lost world. A hidden identity. Destiny and skepticism clash in a realm distorted by light and dark. 

Seventeen‑year‑old Kadsa has spent her life on the run, traveling endlessly with her grandfather in search of a lost mystical homeland she barely believes exists. Longing for a normal life—college, friendships, and a place to finally belong—Kadsa’s quiet hopes shatter when her grandfather is kidnapped. Kadsa is thrust into a dangerous realm ruled by ancient gods, dark forces, and long-buried myths and prophecies. As she journeys deeper into this world of light and dark, she discovers that her past ties her to the fate of an entire civilization. 

​​Facing ruthless enemies and revelations that challenge her understanding of power, heritage, and truth, Kadsa must choose between the life she desires and the destiny that demands her.

Reviews & Praise!

"A riveting fantasy novel, The Civilization incorporates African mythology into its story of a whip-smart heroine who learns to claim her destiny and newfound ancestry with pride." -- Aimee Jodoin

"The story’s worldbuilding and action sequences are engaging ... genre fans will find much to enjoy. An original blend of African-inspired mysticism and adventure." (Fantasy. 14-18)

"The Civilization" is an awesome Africa-based YA fantasy that I can't wait to recommend to everyone. The story follows a girl searching for her magical homeland with her grandpa, only to discover a new realm and a mission to save him and break a curse. With great character development and just a touch of romance, it's a thrilling read despite wishing for more action in the big fight scenes.” - Cassandra Orakkpo
​
"The Civilization is a great Africa-based YA fantasy that I will happily recommend to all my friends, family, and the random person walking by on the sidewalk. I enjoyed that there was a little bit of romance in the book, but that wasn’t what was driving the book or even what the characters were even worried about until everything was said and done. The character development was great and I found myself rooting for our main characters and deeply despising the enemy." -  Keeley Malone - Bookseller
