The King's Champion: The Null Crown

THE KING'S CHAMPIONS: THE NULL CROWN

Book III of the Rootfire Saga
By Ayobami Joseph Ikotun

WHEN MEMORY LIES, TRUTH BECOMES DANGEROUS.

The Rift Crown is shattered. Cipher is gone. And across the war-scarred coastlines of Sierra Leone, memory itself has turned hostile.

Banji Olatunde and his fellow Champions are splintered—haunted by echoes that speak in the voices of the dead. As the Codex fades into silence, a strange signal pulses from the crater where Cipher fell. Someone—or something—is rewriting memory itself.

Deep beneath the ash-choked earth, a forgotten power stirs: the Null Crown. And with it comes D'Gara, a remnant voice with no allegiance and no mercy. His gospel? Memory is tyranny. Let it burn.

With Kole unraveling, Mayowa facing corrupted glyphstreams, and Riftborn agents hijacking ancestral ghosts, the Champions must decide what's worth remembering… and what must be erased.

✔️ Continues the acclaimed Afrofuturist saga
✔️ Introduces the Vowless and the anti-memory philosophy
✔️ Blends sci-fi, African mysticism, and psychological warfare
✔️ Perfect for fans of The Broken Earth Trilogy and Moon Knight

The Codex is failing. The Nullstream is rising. And the Champions are running out of time.
Read The Null Crown and step into the mind of memory's greatest threat.
