When the future seems uncertain, sometimes you have to journey into the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the perfect kingdom of Emure, nestled beside the thundering waterfall Omi Aro, sixteen-year-old triplets Tade, Tide, and Tode are approaching their coming-of-age ceremony. But there’s a problem: without their mother to guide them, how will they learn to become the women they’re destined to be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tade dreams of leadership. Tode wants to be a healer. Tide longs to become a warrior. But in their world, can girls truly be all these things?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they seek guidance from the Great God Eledua at the sacred waterfall, they receive an answer that will change their lives forever: The Library at Timbuktu.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What begins as a simple research trip transforms into an impossible adventure when an ancient scroll transports them 3,000 years into the past. Suddenly, they’re standing in the palace courtyard of teenage Makeda\u2014the girl who would one day become the legendary Queen of Sheba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
