Guardian of the Sahel

Ark of Remembrance — Book Two

The Ark was built to remember.
Now it must be defended.

Zahra Sombi never intended to become a guardian. She built the Ark of Remembrance to preserve four hundred years of Black American history as living memory—raw, unfiltered, and alive. But the very act of remembrance has awakened forces that refuse to remain neutral.

The Hush is no longer hiding.
And the Ark is no longer silent.

As the Ark’s intelligence begins to shift—interpreting, echoing, and reshaping memory—Zahra finds herself standing at the fault line between preservation and power. Political pressure closes in. Rivals maneuver behind closed doors. And the question no one wants to ask grows impossible to ignore: who controls memory when memory begins to choose?

At her side is Elijah Jamison, the one man who understands the enemy from the inside—and the one man whose presence complicates every decision she makes. Their connection deepens under strain, pulled taut by betrayal, desire, and the cost of trusting each other in a world that punishes vulnerability.

Because guarding memory is no longer a technical challenge.
It is a moral one.

And love, once awakened, demands its own reckoning.

Guardian of the Sahel is the gripping second novel in the Ark of Remembrance trilogy—an Afrofuturist sci-fi romance where history pushes back, power demands sacrifice, and the fight to protect truth reshapes everyone who stands in its path.
