A Novel by Jim Lee
A Tale of Mystery, Magic, Madness, and Murder
“Some things sleep in the swamp for a reason.”
Deep in a remote stretch of African jungle, an expedition sent to document a vanishing wilderness stumbles onto something older than the maps admit exists — a place the local guides refuse to name, and a legend they refuse to repeat after dark.
What begins as a study in survival becomes a descent into superstition, obsession, and violence, as the line between what the team believes and what actually moves in the water grows harder to hold.
N’Doki is a stand-alone psychological thriller and prequel to the forthcoming Fire in a Distant Sky trilogy.
A slow-burn psychological plot that trusts what’s withheld more than what’s shown — built for readers who want to keep turning pages after the lights go out.
An isolated jungle setting rendered in enough sensory detail that the humidity, the distance from help, and the silence between sounds become characters in their own right.
Real people under real pressure — the dread lands because you believe in who stands to lose everything, not because of what’s chasing them.
What she saw, she still won’t describe.
The swamp remembers what the map leaves out
