Zariah Abena

Born of a Wampanoag chieftain and a Yoruba priestess captured by the transatlantic slave trade, Zariah's early years were steeped in the rich cultures of two continents. Her mother's tales of ancestral magic and her father's lessons in diplomacy and survival shaped her into a formidable young woman. When the Pilgrims arrive, she finds her place as a bridge between worlds, advocating peace and understanding, while secretly practicing the ancient traditions of her mother's people.
