Rouge impératrice

In the 2120s, the unified Africa — Katiopa — became a prosperous power attracting European migrants, the “Sinistrés”. State leader Ilunga falls for Boya, a “red woman”: a forbidden love story that threatens to become a matter of state.

Afrofuturist and postcolonial novel, Rouge impératrice overturns the migration perspectives of our century. Translated into English under the title Empress Crowned in Red (HarperTeen, 2022).
