Identical triplets Tade (the Visionary), Tode (the Innovator), and Tide (the Guardian) are approaching their 16th birthday, but without their mother Detola, they fear they are unprepared for womanhood. Guided by a vision from Eledua, the girls journey to the Library at Timbuktu, only to be thrown back in time to meet a fierce, teenage Makeda, the future Queen of Sheba. To survive the ancient world and return home, Tide must embrace Makeda’s lesson of disciplined preparation over brute strength. This first adventure uncovers the true purpose of the triplets’ quest: gathering the strength of history’s queens to guide their future.
