SAKOLA: Queen of the Underworld by Isabelle Bryan

A gripping fantasy about a young British woman of Congolese and Nigerian descent who is unwittingly thrown into the world of her ancestors’ tribal customs and magic. Destined to rule as chief of her father’s tribe and queen of the underworld, she reluctantly embraces her fate, enduring strong opposition that threatens to shake the foundations of her world.

“This first novel by Isabelle is a captivating tale that weaves together the world of magic with the resilient spirit of Angelique the protagonist. With its richly imagined settings and beautifully written prose, this story not only celebrates diversity but also showcases transformative power.”
Prof. Phan Nhuan David
