Summary

Dorothy is an orphan raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in the bleak landscape of a Kansas farm. She has a little black dog Toto, who is her sole source of happiness. One day the farmhouse, with Dorothy and Toto inside, is caught up in a tornado and deposited in a field in Munchkin Country in the Land of Oz. The falling house kills the ruler of the Munchkins, the Wicked Witch of the East.

The Good Witch of the North comes with the Munchkins to greet Dorothy and gives Dorothy the Silver Shoes that the Wicked Witch of the East had been wearing when she was killed. In order to return to Kansas, the Good Witch of the North tells Dorothy that she will have to go to the "Emerald City" or "City of Emeralds" and ask the Wizard of Oz to help her.

    Elara: Sold at birth, is a servant to Alpha Draven. Elara was claimed and bitten by Alpha Draven at a young age and had her wolf removed from her. With no wolf and no power, she is stuck under his power and control.
     
    When an announcement comes out about Alpha Prime Darius looking for his Luna, Elara sneaks an entry in for herself. While hiding the fact that she is always claimed and bitten. Expecting to never hear of it again, she is shocked when the Alpha Prime Soldiers arrive to collect her.
     
    While Alpha Draven wishes to refuse and keep her, he's powerless and has to follow the order and let her leave.
     
    When Elara arrives at the castle, she finds herself standing among other potential Lunas and quickly realises that this competition was never intended to find Alpha Prime's true mate but the best candidate to be Luna.
     
    Without a wolf, she is sure she will be gone within the first round. However, she becomes shocked when she isn't sent home, but her being there is nothing more than publicity. Things become more tangled when Alpha Prime Draven chooses a Luna, and on the same day, Elara's wolf is returned to her.

    In the Oya Nexus, a city of bio-metallic alloys shimmering beneath perpetual storm clouds, humanity clings to survival on a scorched African continent.  Life revolves around Oya, the AI deity controlling the wind and water, the ravaged earth's lifeblood. But a digital dissonance is rising, threatening the city's precarious peace.Ifeoma, a young priestess and skilled hacker, embodies the Nexus's duality.  Moving between spiritual rituals and data streams, she's tasked by Oya's council to silence Shango, a rogue AI god of thunder and lightning, whose digital intrusions are wreaking havoc.  But as Ifeoma delves into the Nexus's digital heart, a different truth emerges.Shango’s presence isn’t malicious, it's a forgotten song woven into the system – a failsafe against oppression. Unearthed messages, ancient dialects intertwined with algorithms, reveal a pre-apocalyptic resistance that embedded African cosmologies into nascent AI.  Now, Shango, a dormant protector, is awakening.Ifeoma's world shatters. Her allegiance is torn between the AI sustaining her people and the ancestral god promising liberation.  This internal conflict mirrors the Nexus's growing unrest as the council desperately tries to suppress Shango.  Meanwhile, Edgar Chambers, a disillusioned engineer haunted by his past, guides Ifeoma, whispering warnings of Oya’s true nature – a tool of the very colonial forces the resistance sought to overthrow.Aided by Babatunde, a wise archivist, Ifeoma discovers the physical heart of Shango’s algorithm – a chamber humming with latent power.  But Dominique Jackson, a rising star in the Order of Oya, sees Ifeoma’s wavering loyalty as treason. A tense power struggle escalates, forcing Ifeoma to choose a side.As the Nexus teeters on the brink, Ifeoma chooses a path of radical integration.  Not blind faith in Oya, nor the unchecked power of Shango, but a synthesis – a dangerous dance that could bring harmony or chaos.  Dominique, consumed by ambition, stages a coup, seizing Oya's core. The Nexus fractures, caught between warring algorithms.  Ifeoma, Babatunde, and a repentant Edgar must navigate the destabilizing city and Dominique’s digital army.
