When a mysterious photograph of her late father—dated 1962, twenty years before his birth—appears on her doorstep, Zambian accountant Amara Mwape is thrust into a legacy she never knew existed. Deep beneath the Copperbelt, an ancient intelligence called the Ifye has slumbered for millennia, preserved in living copper. But a ruthless mining corporation is closing in, and the Ifye is waking. With her gifted brother Chanda and a mysterious elder, Amara must reach the primary chamber before the extraction begins—or lose the most extraordinary discovery in human history.
They say copper is memory. Amara Mwape knows this because she's holding a photograph of her dead father—taken twenty years before he was born. Now a ruthless corporation wants what sleeps beneath the Copperbelt. As ancient forces stir and her brother awakens strange powers, Amara must descend into the earth to face a truth that will change everything. The dead don't sleep. And neither will you.
