In a Hundred Years

In a Hundred Years unfolds in a distant Black future where sacred music orders public life, ancient universities guard the knowledge of the body, and citizenship is measured not only by birth or blood-but by how long a person is expected to remain. Jonah, a young scholar of forbidden art, has been raised among ceremonies of endurance, polished institutions, and rules whose origins no one thinks to question. But after an encounter with an image his world has forgotten how to name, he is drawn across divided regions and sealed archives, into the orbit of a fearless young woman whose brief life makes her both dangerous and irresistible. What begins as a private mystery opens onto questions of lineage, representation, desire, and the stories a civilization tells to keep its future intact. Rich with Black mysticism, political satire, romance, sacred music, and ancestral memory, In a Hundred Years asks its most urgent question: What is Black Power?
