Overview

Book DescriptionIn a world where food is controlled to keep the population obedient, one impossible seed changes everything. After the collapse of industrial agriculture, the global elite enforces the ""Golden Billion"" doctrine-reducing humanity to a manageable number through engineered scarcity, sterile soil, and silent famines. But in the radioactive ruins of Chernobyl, a new lifeform emerges: the Black Seed. Radiation-resistant, water-independent, and capable of revitalizing dead earth, it spreads not by design-but by memory. Ren Okoro, a bioethicist altered by fungal and bacterial symbionts, is the only one who can awaken the seeds. Joined by Adesuwa, a Lagos girl who hears the soil speak, he becomes the reluctant guardian of a quiet revolution. But as the seeds bloom across continents, they awaken something deeper: a planetary network where consciousness, ecology, and technology converge. Now, Ren must navigate a moral crossroads. Can humanity be saved through sacrifice-or only through shared light? And what if the seeds don't need a savior at all? Black Seeds: A Shadow Harvest is a lyrical, science-grounded tale of food sovereignty, collective resilience, and the quiet rebellion that begins when bread is no longer a commodity-but a covenant. Perfect for readers who loved Parable of the Sower, The Deep, or Children of Time, and crave speculative fiction where hope grows in the cracks of empire.
