The Word of Y'Neshu: Heart of the Ijeya - Hardcover

by Jordan Hampton (Author)

The Word of Y'Neshu: Heart of the Ijeya is a 112,000-word Pan-African fantasy novel that blends linguistic and cultural aspects from across the African diaspora to create an alternate universe that taps into the power of language and culture. Audiences will be treated to interesting takes on legendary creatures from a number of African mythologies, vibrant environments untapped by the modern age, magic born from the soul of Y'Neshu's people, and Languages of Power born from hard-sought commonalities in African phonetics. This is more than a story; this is the first step on a bridge to a heritage that those in the African diaspora have been deprived of for too long, and a powerful expression of everything that we are. This is Y'Neshu, and I bid you welcome.
