- Iyanu
- Storyline
- It has been over five hundred years since the age of wonders - a time when the Divine Ones blessed humanity with spiritual, structural, and technological marvels. But in the blink of an eye, it all vanished, and all that was left were remnants of an ancient, advanced civilization. As humankind forges ahead, culture becomes knowledge, knowledge becomes history, and history becomes mythology. Until Iyanu. A teenage orphan girl with no recollection of her past who suddenly discovers that she has hidden powers that rival the Divine Ones themselves. As Iyanu tries to come to terms with her new abilities, the people of Yorubaland begin to fear extinction at the hands of their century-old nemesis, The Corrupt-Cursed Wildlife, desperate to destroy humanity. And for good reason, for all that's left between them and destruction are the memories locked away in the mind of Iyanu.
