The Waste Land Ts Eliot

Aïcha, jeune et brillante archéologue sénégalaise, mène une vie paisible à Dakar, partagée entre ses recherches universitaires et les traditions familiales. Son existence bascule lorsqu'elle hérite d'un mystérieux masque d'ivoire de son grand-père, un ancien conteur et gardien de la mémoire ancestrale. Ce masque n'est pas un simple objet d'art. Il est la clé d'une prophétie oubliée, liée à un trésor caché et à un ancien royaume africain disparu. Aïcha se retrouve alors plongée dans une quête palpitante, semée d'embûches et de dangers, qui la mènera des ruelles animées de Dakar aux confins du désert du Sahara, en passant par les forêts luxuriantes de Casamance. Mais elle n'est pas la seule à convoiter le secret du masque d'ivoire. Un puissant homme d'affaires véreux, héritier d'une lignée de pillards et prêt à tout pour s'emparer du trésor, se lance à ses trousses. Dans cette course contre la montre, Aïcha croise la route de Malik, un séduisant aventurier et expert en cultures africaines, dont le charme mystérieux et les compétences hors du commun s'avèrent être une aide précieuse. Entre eux, une attirance irrésistible se développe, mais Aïcha devra apprendre à faire confiance à Malik, car il semble lui aussi cacher un lourd secret lié à son passé. Ensemble, ils devront déchiffrer les énigmes du masque d'ivoire, affronter les dangers qui les guettent et percer les mystères d'une histoire oubliée, tout en luttant contre une force obscure qui menace de détruire l'héritage de leurs ancêtres.
