"When The River Runs Dry, Even the stillest waters remember where they began" What if the path to your destiny was a river that flowed uphill? The land had always trusted the rivers. Trusted them to obey gravity, to flow gently down the valleys. But one morning the rivers rebelled, climbing upward into the sky, the world felt its first tremor of betrayal. For the villagers, the climbing waters are no longer for drinking or fishing-they are liquid mirrors that shimmer with visions of lives unlived, of destinies untaken.

"When The River Runs Dry, Even the stillest waters remember where they began" What if the path to your destiny was a river that flowed uphill? The land had always trusted the rivers. Trusted them to obey gravity, to flow gently down the valleys. But one morning the rivers rebelled, climbing upward into the sky, the world felt its first tremor of betrayal. For the villagers, the climbing waters are no longer for drinking or fishing-they are liquid mirrors that shimmer with visions of lives unlived, of destinies untaken. Leko, the smallest and most-mocked boy in the village, sees a vision of himself as a scarred warrior, strong and commanding, a spear tipped with fire in his hand. He is not the only one seduced. A widow leaps in to reclaim her lost husband, returning youthful but hollow-eyed. A thief sees himself crowned in gold. But the rivers do not give; they only trade, and every gift comes with a terrible cost. As the village fractures between those who fear the rivers as a curse and those who worship them as a gift, Leko is torn. To claim the powerful future he was shown, he must be willing to pay the price. But when the forgotten gods stirring beneath the mountains begin to dream again, the stakes are higher than one boy's destiny. The world itself will be remade. For fans of N.K. Jemisin and Marlon James, this mythic African fantasy explores the weight of choice and the courage to carve your own path, even when the currents of fate refuse to flow. Dive into a world where water defies gravity and every reflection holds a secret. Scroll up and click "Buy Now" to begin the journey.
Mbiganyi Malidza is a Botswana writer who blends romance, fantasy, and survival guides with humor and originality. His characters keep him awake at night, his ancestors occasionally pitch him plot twists, and his readers keep coming back for more laughter, drama, and unforgettable surprises. Once upon a time, in the land of late nights and half-finished coffee cups, Mbiganyi Malidza Dreamt, not from boardrooms or boring rules, but from spilled coffee, late-night giggles, and the kind of ideas polite publishers cross themselves to avoid. Instead of playing it safe, I decided to print romances that misbehave, comedies that walk into walls, and characters who make readers laugh, blush, and wonder why their life isn't this entertaining. If stories are supposed to behave... mine never got the memo. Romance with plot twists spicier than your auntie's secret chili sauce.
