Drums Of Luanda: When drums remember their rhythm, nations remember themselves.

When twelve-year-old Amara Okoye discovers an ancient drum hidden in her grandfather's attic in Lagos, she thinks she has found an old family treasure.
She is wrong.
The drum whispers her name.
Soon Amara and Kito, a boy from Angola carrying painful family memories, are pulled into a magical journey through time, history, and the spirit world. Guided by golden fireflies, wise storytellers, ancestral guardians, and a mischievous leopard spirit named Ekon, they travel into the heart of the Angolan Civil War and uncover stories that many people have forgotten.
As they witness courage, loss, sacrifice, and hope, they encounter a dangerous shadow creature known as The Divider, a spirit that feeds on fear, greed, revenge, and division.
