The Umbrella Continent: Shadows of a forgotten Earth.

In the year 4014, Safi Amy, a Ugandan activist who was brutally murdered in 2045, is reborn as Zahara Nia, a 20-year-old in the seemingly utopian world of Aetheris. Safi had died at the hands of an extremist Alliance that rose to power in Africa, targeting non-Africans and those who defended them. Her fiery end-burned alive as her executioners filmed her death as a warning-was meant to silence dissent. But now, centuries later, Zahara awakens in a world that feels eerily familiar, with cultural and environmental echoes of her past life. She however discovers the unsettling truth: Aetheris is the only landmass on Earth, surrounded by an endless ocean. The ruling class of Aetheris has erased all knowledge of other human species. Every evening, a mysterious cloud-like shield descends over the continent, further isolating its inhabitants from the truth. As a former history and environmental researcher in her past life, Zahara enrolls in the history major, determined to uncover the long-lost truths deliberately hidden by the elite. Her relentless curiosity and discoveries attract the attention of Manzi Kush, a hardened general tasked with monitoring her. Despite his warnings to stay silent, Zahara becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth: What happened to the rest of humanity? Why does Aetheris exist in isolation? And what lies beyond the veil? As Zahara delves deeper, she must confront the risks of her quest-not just to herself, but to the fragile utopia of Aetheris. The more she uncovers, the more she realizes that the truth could shatter the world she now calls home...
