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 Red Sea shimmered like a blade under the morning sun—beautiful, deceptive.

Khisa stood at the prow of his ship, eyes locked on the Ottoman vessel and its two escorts slicing steadily through the water. Far to starboard, Tesfaye's ship was fanning out in silence, sails angled to create a pincer. The plan was simple: trap, board, extract, survive.

But the plan didn't account for how damn big the Ottoman warship was.

"Close enough for cannon range," warned Simba, gripping the railing beside him. "They'll fire soon."

Khisa nodded, his eyes never leaving the enemy's deck. It bristled with soldiers—at least eighty, some armed with matchlocks, others preparing to roll heavy cannons into place.

"Wait for the signal," Khisa muttered.

A flaming arrow from Tesfaye's direction streaked into the sky—now.
