Memory is rebellion. Memory is survival. Memory is hope.

Starsong is a mythic historical novel set in ancient North Africa, where invaders known as the Sons of Ash seek to wipe out not just people, but the stories that define them. Izri, a young memory-keeper, escapes with nothing but a sacred stone and the history of his people.

As he journeys through mountain villages and fractured kinships, Izri must fight to preserve the one thing the enemy fears most—memories.

Drawing on archaeology, oral tradition, and cultural anthropology, Starsong reimagines a world where stories were lifelines and survival depended on remembering. This lyrical and gripping historical novel explores the limits of memory, the costs of resistance, and the courage it takes to preserve the truth when the world would rather forget.

Perfect for readers of literary historical fiction, mythic storytelling, and fans of memory-rich narratives like The Buried Giant or The Book of Lost Things.
