Overview

In Aṣọ-Orun, a breathtaking orbital colony shimmering like a cosmic jellyfish against the void, tradition and technology collide. Markets bustle with ancestral crafts beside cybernetic enhancements; old stories mingle with data streams. But beneath its beauty, tension simmers between those who honor their heritage and those who seek progress at any cost. For Nia, weaving is more than livelihood. With every thread of star-silk, she feels the voices of her ancestors, whispers encoded in color, symbol, and pattern. Her latest tapestry doesn't just hum with hidden energy-it tears open a portal to another world. Through it she witnesses visions: ancestors calling, landscapes of impossible wonder, and at the heart of it all, a monstrous storm of living darkness bent on annihilation. When Nia tries to warn the colony, she is dismissed, mocked, and silenced. Councilor Ade, a technocrat whose polished calm hides ruthless ambition, sees her gift not as salvation but as a tool to consolidate power. To him, the fabled StarLoom-a mythic device said to control the very fabric of space-time-must belong to him alone. Defying Ade, Nia flees into the underbelly of Aṣọ-Orun. There she meets Kweku, a renegade pilot with a ship as scarred and defiant as he is. Together they follow the cryptic patterns hidden in her tapestries, uncovering ancient maps, secret shrines, and the guarded truths of their ancestors. The search for the StarLoom becomes a race against time-against a cosmic storm, political treachery, and Nia's own fear of what she must become. Part epic fantasy, part space opera, Starweaver's Loom is an Afrofuturist tale of destiny, resistance, and heritage. With lyrical worldbuilding inspired by African traditions and the pulse of science fiction, Kwame Solaris weaves a narrative where art becomes prophecy and legacy becomes power.
