This captivating blend of sci-fi, speculative fiction, and spirituality follows fearless journalist Pels on her quest to unravel the mysterious disappearance of her friend's younger brother – just one in a disturbing pattern of young Black children vanishing across London.
The plot thickens when Pels is sent to cover protests in Benin, West Africa. There, she reluctantly embarks on a journey to a spiritual retreat, investigating why foreigners are flocking to participate in enigmatic Spirit Vine rituals – and why locals have grown increasingly resentful.
When Pels takes the Spirit Vine herself, her recurring strange dreams suddenly take on profound new meaning, potentially unlocking the sinister conspiracies behind London's missing Black children and the watery graves where they're discovered.
✨ Bring a friend, grab a drink, and prepare for a thought-provoking conversation and Q&A that promises to be as intriguing as Kelechi's work!
📚 Copies of *Awakened* will be available for purchase on the night from MyBookBasket – don't miss your chance to get your copy signed by the author herself!
