Long before time wore names and memory turned to ash, there lived a flutist whose songs could wake the dead and silence the gods. His name was Ojadeli. He vanished from the world… until now. When sixteen-year-old Benna, a quiet boy from Owa, discovers an ancient flute buried near his grandmother’s shrine, the melody he plays doesn’t just echo—it summons. Shadows begin to whisper. Elders panic. And in the skies above, a forgotten mask begins to stir. As Benna is drawn into visions of a world he’s never seen—yet somehow remembers—he discovers that he is not just a boy. He is a vessel. A return. A bridge between the living and Wàmù, the land of spirits. Beside him stands Cindy, a girl haunted by dreams she cannot explain, bound to Benna by a force older than time. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the flute, the laws of Ani, and the spirit war that never ended. But the veil is thinning. The flute is waking. And the Mask Without Name has begun to walk again.
