Every three thousand nights, Youths of Javari gather to pledge themselves to one of the four Stratums. The Vaincre is home to soldiers and warriors, the Explorateur home to artisans and inventors, the Enlightenment home to historians and educators, and the Unir, home of politicians and leaders.
Orianne Duchamp is excited to pledge to the Enlightenment Stratum but worries that her physical prowess overshadows her intellectual interests. An unexpected visitor confirms those fears, coercing Orianne into joining a dangerous expedition. When the expedition is massacred, Orianne must rely on her mind as much as her muscle to survive…
Loosely based on the mythology of West African nations, French folklore, and phantasmagoric fantasies of T. Aaron Cisco, The Unbanished is an page-turning, epic, afro-fantasy saga.
