The Afadjato Conception

Everyone in Liati Wote knows Afadja as Ghana's highest mountain. Dr Sena Kpodo has come home to prove that the map may be wrong.What begins as a geospatial survey becomes dangerous when a century-old German map, an unexplained benchmark and a hidden sequence of botanical and human markers point beyond the summit. Someone else is following the same clues-and someone has a modern reason to control what they reveal.With historian Mawuli Tetteh, guide Kodzo Ameka, filmmaker Lena Vogel and a compromised survey team, Sena is drawn through waterfalls, caves, fire-scarred ridges and the Ghana-Togo borderlands in pursuit of a vanished cartographic system created before colonial boundaries hardened into law.But the Afadjato Conception is not a treasure map. It is a challenge to the idea that land can be reduced to one line, one owner or one official truth.An intelligent African expedition thriller about maps, memory, history and the dangerous power of deciding what counts as evidence.
