Annie C says:
This Africanfuturism novella feels like a sci-fi classic from the start. Sankofa's story is about death, culture, family, technology and life.
When an alien artifact turns her into Death's adopted daughter, Sankofa, with her name being the only tie to her family and her past, searches for answers as cities fall in her wake.
