Move over, boring books, Ghost Tribes is here to shake the entire fantasy genre. We’re talking African historical dark fantasy, jaw-dropping romance, supernatural battles, ancestral power, forbidden councils… and get this: it’s not just a book. It’s a whole universe.
Here’s everything you need to know about the series everyone’s about to start obsessing over:
Books 1 and 2 Are Out Now — In Every Format You Could Possibly Want
The series kicks off with Book 1: The Ghost of Africa and Book 2: The Council of Paramounts, both available RIGHT NOW in three formats:
- Ebook
- Illustrated paperback (yes, with stunning visuals)
- Non-illustrated paperback (for the purists)
They ship worldwide, and while you can find them on all the usual platforms like Kindle and other major booksellers, they’re way cheaper on the official website. Save your coin and support the creator directly. Win-win.
Oh, and don’t get too comfortable. Book 3: The Thoroughbreds of Ascendency is set to release later this year. And Book 4? The title’s a spoiler, but just know it’s coming, and it’s meant to be the final piece of this epic saga.
A 16-Track Soundtrack From the Characters Themselves? Yes, Really
This isn’t just a book you read. It’s a world you feel.
Each of the 16 songs in the newly released soundtrack is sung in character, literally from the emotional, fiery, complex perspectives of the actual characters in the novel. And they hit. Hard.
Think of it as the inner monologues of warriors, queens, outcasts, and ghosts, now turned into songs. They’re raw, beautiful, and sometimes devastating.
You’ll find the full soundtrack on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, and more. And yes, there are full-on music videos for each track on the official socials. These are not your average book trailers.
The Socials Are Giving Cinematic Universe Vibes
The Ghost Tribes social media pages aren’t just promo dumps. They’re extensions of the story. Every video is created from the point of view of the characters. That includes:
- Cinematic music videos
- Short animated one-shot episodes based on stories from the book
- Behind-the-scenes clips of the author breaking down the making of the music
Whether you’re into African mythology, fantasy worldbuilding, forbidden love, or just vibing with otherworldly storytelling, this is where it’s at.
“Our Tribe Is Africa” — My Love Letter to All Black People Worldwide
At its core, Ghost Tribes is about reclaiming, retelling, and reimagining African history and culture through fantasy. No tribe is safe. No tradition is left untouched. And no one is left out.
Whether you’re Caribbean, African American, Afro-Brazilian, or born on the continent, this story is yours too. As the website boldly puts it:
“Our tribe is Africa.”
