Harken back to a time of widespread injustice, of colonial wars and bitter rivalries, and an age where the best of men arose from the shadows. 1777. New York. Harry Washington once attended the man who would become the first President of the United States. Now a sergeant in the British Colonial Army, he is a confidante of US General George whose surname he bears. Unbeknown to most, are memories of the days he walked the grounds of an exotic land and was known by the name, Hanye. Born in the heart of Africa, Hanyes tale is one of sorrow and inspiration. Captured during a war of dominance, he is sold into slavery and shipped to the American colony. While his name would echo into history, it is the legacy of his people that tells his full story. Queen Ogo of Asaba grew up listening to tales of the great Hanye, her cousin. Her reflections of the past bring a startling revelation: The Papal Kingdom that the King of Portugal heard of in 1486, which sparked centuries of exploration in West Africa looking for The Source of the Niger, may have been hidden in plain sight. From King James I, creating his version of the Bible to pacify the Puritans, to their exit-through her eyes, the story of Hanye and the birth of America is laid bare. She details the customs of a people who share close similarities in religious structure to the Roman Catholic Church, complete with their own Pope; of a proud people beholden to the same truths as the American Founding Fathers; and of Hanye, whose work was done and whose soul was leading him home. Queen Ogo and the Other Pope is the richly detailed story of various intersections that would dominate modern history and how much Harry would do to return home.
