Green Shadows: Vinjeru's Awakening


In the year 2087, in a futuristic Africa transformed by extreme environmental laws, Vinjeru Mkandawire is an ordinary student at Kachere Underwater University, hidden beneath the surface of Lake Malawi. His life changes forever when a forbidden family secret forces him and his bold classmate, Sphiwe, to defy the Green Authorities, the enforcers of a rigid eco-dystopian society.

When they illegally bury his grandfather instead of surrendering his body for recycling, Vinjeru and Sphiwe become fugitives. Hunted by genetically engineered hybrids, including the mysterious and dangerous agent Benca Syx, they are thrust into the heart of a teen rebellion in a dystopia where freedom and tradition clash with authoritarian control.

Their journey takes them from the eco-controlled cities of New Blantyre to the Off-Grid Outlands, uncovering the secrets behind the Green Authorities’ oppressive regime. As Vinjeru wrestles with betrayal, self-discovery, and the truth about his own life, he must decide whether to fight for a future where humanity can thrive—or accept the harsh order imposed by the authorities.

Perfect for fans of YA heroic sci-fi adventures, Green Shadows weaves a gripping tale of courage, tradition, and survival in a post-apocalyptic rebellion set against the backdrop of an Afrofuturist dystopia.
