Shards of Eledumare

In a world where gods have been turned into code, one girl carries the glitch that could bring it all crashing down. Welcome to post-Ascension Lagos—where divine power has been digitized, memory is currency, and the ruling Senate enforces control through the all-powerful Ascension Engine. Worship is forbidden. Ancestral spirits are suppressed. Essence is harvested. But in the ruins beneath the spire-topped skyline, rebellion simmers—and the gods whisper through static. Ifeoluwa never asked to become a Shard-Bearer. Hunted by cybernetic enforcers, haunted by a sister lost to the system’s brutal Trials, and marked by a living fragment of divine power, Ifeoluwa is thrust into a conflict far older—and far deeper—than she ever imagined. Her every step echoes with forbidden oríkì. Her cybernetic arm pulses with ancestral glyphs. And the divine resonance inside her threatens to awaken the truth the Senate has tried to erase. But awakening is not the end. It is the beginning. As fractured resistance factions clash, prophecies bleed into code, and the Akashic Timeline destabilizes, Ifeoluwa must choose: ascend into the system that caged her people—or become its reckoning. Perfect for fans of N.K.
