Description

Ryen Miller is young, brilliant, and newly promoted into the highest levels of corporate leadership. She’s spent her life mastering control over her ambition, her image, her future. But when a subtle, inexplicable force begins to move through her body and mind, Ryen realizes something ancient has chosen her.

What begins as unease becomes transformation.

As Ryen navigates boardrooms, betrayal, and the unspoken rules of power, she is pulled toward a truth that blurs the line between destiny and autonomy. The forces shaping her rise are not merely political or technological. They are mythic, intimate, and deeply unsettling. Every step forward demands a reckoning with who she is, what she’s been taught to become, and what she may no longer be able to refuse.

Blending literary fiction with speculative and metaphysical elements, The Sun Knows Her Name explores ambition, identity, and the cost of leadership through the lens of a Black woman discovering that ascension is never neutral.

This is a novel for readers who enjoy:

  • character-driven speculative fiction
  • modern mythology and metaphysical themes
  • stories about women, power, and transformation
  • thoughtful, atmospheric prose
