My project, a young adult futuristic / fantasy novel, is about an African kingdom hidden in the world, and two young sisters (twins), separated from birth. One twin is being raised in a European country, unaware of her true origins and her royal lineage, as she is poised to inherit a tribe currently ruled by her sister. As political powers collide and ancient formulas awaken to heal the other sister, this African kingdom fights to maintain its secret role towards the entire world.

Virgilia will be in residence during the month of August 2025.
