Imagine a book that could tell us what happens after we die.
In 2049, The Book of the After has become a cult classic, and Negus Kebede has always wondered if what it says is true.
His name means ‘king’ in his mother tongue but, following a great loss, Negus is a reluctant leader – for what is a king without his queen?
If The Book of the After is right, then they could be reunited. But a would-be assassin is haunting him, determined to alter Negus’ destiny, and that of the country he loves.
Crossing centuries and continents, space and time, this is a love story for the ages – and everything after.
