A Journey Across Time, A Battle for Freedom

What if you could go back in time?
What would you do? 
Stop the world war?
Stop slavery?

When Joseph Situma, a modern-day man, is thrust back to the year 1542, he is reborn as Khisa Lusweti, the son of a village chief in Eastern Africa. Struggling to bridge the gap between his past life and his new reality, Khisa must navigate the brutal tides of history. But as he uncovers the looming horrors of the transatlantic slave trade, he realizes that fate has given him a chance—an opportunity to change the course of history.

Armed with knowledge beyond his years and the trust of a people who see him as both a leader and a boy, Khisa must unite warriors, outthink ruthless enemies, and fight for a future that was never meant to be. But history is not so easily rewritten, and with every victory comes a greater challenge.

Will he defy destiny, or will the weight of the past crush him before he can break the chains of oppression?

A gripping tale of resilience, strategy, and the unyielding spirit of a people on the brink of war.

The Wrath of the Unchained

The soft flutter of pigeon wings filled the sky over Shewa as the birds descended with ribbons tied to their legs. The messengers had arrived—tiny couriers of war and revelation. A guard retrieved them quickly, rushing through the winding corridors of the stone fortress toward the command chamber where Khisa sat with Commander Tesfaye.

The sun was beginning to set, bleeding orange across the mountains as Khisa untied the letters with practiced fingers. He skimmed through them one by one, the shadows on his face growing darker with each word.

Tesfaye leaned over, his eyes scanning for meaning. "What does it say?" he asked.

Khisa's brow furrowed. "Nuri has taken control of a major trade hub… and now both the Portuguese and the Ottomans have set their sights on us."

Khisa nodded, stunned. "They've allied themselves against us. Both of them."
