When Afia Mensima, an archaeology student from Kumasi, unearths a strange golden emblem near Lake Bosomtwe, she never expects it to awaken an ancient prophecy tied to the Ashanti Kingdom. Suddenly hunted by The Keepers of the Smoke — a secret cult guarding the mysteries of the Golden Stool — Afia is forced to run for her life. Her only ally is Kwaku Owusu, a guarded but brilliant historian who seems to know more than he admits. Together, they uncover a forgotten power buried in royal bloodlines, lost shrines, and a promise made in gold — The Golden Oath. But the deeper Afia digs, the closer she comes to a truth that could rewrite Ghana’s history… and destroy her own destiny.
