Overview

Sound's Edge follows Dominic Wells, a gifted sonic craftsman in Parallax-a city fragmented across multiple timelines. Known as Echo Forge, Dominic shapes solid constructs from sound, keeping chaos at bay. But when a series of time anomalies disrupt the city, he discovers a chilling truth: an alternate version of himself, Dominus, is collapsing timelines to create a singular, ""perfect"" reality. Recruited by the Temporal Assembly, guardians of timeline integrity, Dominic begins hunting his dark counterpart, only to uncover that Dominus was once the original-while Dominic himself may be a manipulated replacement. As Dominic unravels the secrets of Parallax, he's forced to confront fractured versions of himself, question his memories, and choose between order and freedom. He learns that the Temporal Assembly has curated his life, pruning other Dominics for being unstable. When Dominus attempts to merge all timelines using a powerful artifact the Harmonic Key Dominic must forge a new sonic weapon and confront his darkest self in a collapsing city of echoes. The book ends with a twist: Dominus survives and is joined by a mysterious third version of Dominic. As a new tone not tied to any known timeline plays, Dominic hears the words: ""We were waiting."" The fracture has only just begun.

Author Information

Christopher Thabani Mandawa is a Zimbabwean-born author and construction professional whose life bridges physical creation and intellectual inquiry. From construction sites in Cape Town to books read across Africa and beyond, his work reflects a commitment to building both structures and ideas. Raised in Zimbabwe, Mandawa grew up amid the tensions of post-colonial society, where hardship coexisted with resilience and hope. His family instilled in him discipline, curiosity, and the belief that education is a tool of liberation. An early love for books shaped his fascination with history, politics, religion, and the human condition. He later moved to South Africa, studying Building and Civil Engineering at Northlink College and the College of Cape Town. With additional training in AutoCAD, construction safety, and lean construction, he built a solid technical foundation. Beginning his career as a Site Clerk, he spent nearly a decade managing projects and coordinating teams before advancing in 2024 to Junior Construction Foreman in Cape Town, overseeing projects from conception to completion. Alongside construction, Mandawa pursued his calling as a writer. He has published over 100 books across fiction and non-fiction. His non-fiction explores sociology, psychology, politics, Pan-Africanism, governance, and post-colonial critique, challenging dominant narratives and encouraging critical thought. His fiction reflects African identity, migration, love, struggle, and resilience, giving voice to lived experiences often overlooked. Mandawa sees construction and writing as complementary disciplines: one builds the external world, the other shapes the internal. Both demand vision, patience, and collective effort. His philosophy is rooted in Pan-Africanism and liberation-economic, mental, and political. Despite facing the challenges of migration, identity, and limited opportunity, resilience has defined his journey. Looking ahead, he aims to merge his passions through initiatives that combine infrastructure development with education and empowerment. Christopher Thabani Mandawa seeks to leave a legacy measured in both concrete and ideas-homes that stand firm and minds that think freely-contributing to Africa's progress and future.
