Vicenary is a twenty-story science fiction and fantasy anthology narrated by Griot, a
cosmic storyteller, featuring young Black and African protagonists battling alien
empires, spiritual forces, dystopian AI, and racial injustice across wildly different
worlds.

From a futuristic Lagos where Christianity is outlawed and robots malfunction under
ghostly influence, to a magical African wilderness where an abused girl chooses life
over a serpent's whispered despair, to a dome-sealed continent where a boy carries a
microscopic AI inside his body -- Vicenary delivers twenty science fiction and fantasy
stories rooted in Black and African culture, each one centered on young protagonists
who face extraordinary odds.

Narrated by Griot, a cosmic storyteller who moves between infinite parallel realities,
the collection spans mecha battles, space colonies, urban vigilantes, virtual reality
prisons, and lunar romance. The protagonists are children and teenagers -- twins
hiding their faith from warlords, a cyborg hero shot at by the police he just protected,
gospel singers who find their real break by serving nursing home residents instead of
chasing auditions.

Across every story, the stakes are concrete: survival, identity, family, and the refusal
to let oppression, despair, or deception define who you are. Faith is not background
decoration here -- it is the force that breaks chains, heals paralysis, and turns the
marginalized into the chosen.

Written from an Apostolic Pentecostal and Afrocentric perspective, Vicenary is
speculative fiction that insists what makes you different is exactly what equips you for
greatness. Twenty worlds. Twenty battles. One unbroken conviction that good wins.
