Before the ships crossed the Atlantic, before the names were stripped away, there was Moussane.
In 15th-century West Africa, on the banks of the great Senegal River, a girl is born to a revered priestess. Marked by the spirits and destined for a journey beyond her tribe, Moussane’s story begins where the African diaspora truly begins— in ritual, resistance, and raw beauty.
This powerful historical fiction short story introduces readers to the ancestral forces behind the Blood for Pearlsuniverse. In just 18 gripping pages, Moussane offers a rare, spiritual perspective on the lives shattered before the Middle Passage — and a haunting call to remember.
Perfect for fans of literary historical fiction, African heritage, women’s spiritual journeys, and pre-colonial epics, Moussane – The River’s Daughter is both a standalone tale and a must-read prequel to Beyond – The Door of No Return.
