In the heart of the African continent lies a mystical land called Nibinooland, where tradition and modernity intertwine to create a story of profound depth and significance. Ancestors, a captivating novel set in Pulima, Ghana, introduces us to Fara, a fifteen-year-old boy chosen for an extraordinary purpose.

This prestigious institution is not just a school but a spiritual crucible, nurturing the brightest minds and bravest hearts to serve Nibinooland.
But Fara’s journey takes a pivotal turn as he faces the ultimate test: an eleven-day quest to find the legendary Navala Loori Pipa—a leaf of unparalleled power, capable of curing every disease in the land, including a devastating plague orchestrated by sinister demons.
The Five Fears: Fara’s Inner Battle
Fara’s quest is more than a physical journey; it is a battle against his own deepest fears.
