My Land, My Nile

For centuries, the river has witnessed kingdoms rise and fall, heroes crowned and crushed. From the golden days of the 10th century to the fading edges of 1970s Sudan, the Nile has held its secrets until now.

Born of two bloodlines Nubian and Abyssinian young Nabra-Isat carries a legacy she doesn't yet understand. When tragedy strikes, her enigmatic uncle Bantus, a modern-day Kushite king, whisks her away from the only home she's ever known to the quiet corridors of Geneva.

Before she leaves, a mysterious woman named Tamaya Sufra, with ties to the sacred Nile crocodiles, gives Nabra a gift relic of her past, and a promise:

"You, my child, were born by the Nubian Lake. And you will return. You are the fire rising from the water."

But the river has all the ancestral stories stored and picks one in particular that follows Nabra. The story of Queen Gudith-Isat.

Now, as the queen begins to stir the past, Nabra must uncover who she is and what she was born to reclaim.

The banks of the river Nile have been the setting for countless tales of heroism and defeat from the 10th Century to crumbling Sudanese communities in the 1970s. Born into this rich and complicated legacy is Nabra-Isat, from a Nubian father and an Abassynian mother.

When Nabra was only ten years old, Bantus, Nabra's uncle, an image of the modern-day Kushite King, came and dramatically took her away from her home in Sudan to live with him in Geneva after the mysterious death of her parents.

Tamaya Sufra, an old family friend and a woman with a mystical connection to the Nile crocodiles, assures the little Nabra that she will return to the Nile one day. She gives her items to remind her of her Nubian father and Ethiopian mother: silt from the Nile, and a copy of an old manuscript from Queen Gudith-Isat.
