Her discovery could unite a nation, or unleash its darkest forces.
When brilliant archaeologist Imani Waithaka uncovers a clue to a mythical ivory relic, she joins forces with a stoic warrior and a charming rogue to outsmart a ruthless tycoon and protect a kingdom’s heritage while risking her heart.
When brilliant archaeologist Dr. Imani Waithaka discovers a hidden symbol on an ancient Zameelan artifact, she doesn't just stumble upon a clue—she ignites a dangerous race for one of Africa’s most powerful and elusive relics: the Elephant Tusk of the Savannah King.
As rivals close in, and a ruthless tycoon will stop at nothing to claim the Tusk’s secrets, Imani must navigate treacherous jungles, political conspiracies, and a legacy buried deep in the Zuri lands. Aided by the stoic warrior Lemalon and the charming but unpredictable Kwame, Imani must choose between safeguarding her heritage—and saving her life.
In a world where history is power and myth can kill, the truth could rewrite a nation’s story... or destroy it forever.
Perfect for fans of Clive Cussler, Wilbur Smith, and Christina Lynch, Elephant Tusk of the Savannah King is a pulse-pounding romantic adventure packed with suspense, danger, and a heroine who refuses to be silenced.
If you're into intelligent, modern techno-thrillers woven with cryptic puzzles, real-world tech, international intrigue, and a fierce female lead, the Decrypter series delivers.

Tropes You'll Love:
African Mythology & Heritage: The Savannah King legend evokes real East African folklore about rulers who could communicate with animals and wear tusks as symbols of power. The novel honours Africa’s rich history while critiquing modern greed.
Strong Female Lead: Dr. Imani Waithaka is more than a damsel in distress. She is a brilliant archaeologist who struggles with work‑life balance and stands up to male colleagues. Her evolution from lone wolf to collaborator is a key emotional arc.
Love Triangle: The tension between stoic Lemalon and unpredictable Kwame keeps readers guessing. Both men represent different values—duty and freedom—and challenge Imani to define what she truly wants.
Conservation & Colonialism: By depicting Mwangi’s exploitation of Zuri lands, the book highlights real issues such as ivory poaching, corruption and the clash between economic development and cultural preservation.
Exotic Settings: From Kingsbridge’s modern skyline to savannahs teeming with wildlife and hidden ruins, the novel offers a tour of Zameela’s landscapes, inspired by Kenya and Tanzania. The Savannah King National Park echoes real parks like Amboseli and Serengeti
