C.T. Rwizi Synopses: House of Gold by C.T. Rwizi is a standalone novel. On a distant planet colonized by a corporate aristocracy of African descent, life is starkly divided between the privileged few and the oppressed masses. The elite enjoy advanced cybernetic technology that grants them extended lifespans and prosperity, while those beneath them endure harsh conditions and servitude.

Yet amidst this stratified society, seeds of rebellion are sown. In a clandestine underwater lab, a separatist group engineers a powerful weapon against the aristocracy: the Primes, genetically enhanced leaders poised to incite change. Supported by their loyal Proxies, bodyguards bound to serve them for life, the Primes prepare to challenge the oppressive regime.

When the cult’s sanctuary is attacked, Proxies Nandipa and Hondo leap into action to protect their charges. But as they emerge onto the surface, they confront a reality that shatters their beliefs about their world.

Forced to navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting allegiances and betrayals, Nandipa and Hondo grapple with their duty to the aristocracy and their desire for freedom. As tensions escalate and loyalties are tested, the Proxies must choose between upholding their sworn allegiance and forging their own path toward liberation—a choice that may ultimately determine the fate of their planet.

Their mission: to test a newly constructed wormhole jump, potentially leading to habitable worlds awaiting discovery. However, an unforeseen explosion alters their course dramatically, casting them far from their intended destination with slim odds of returning.

Now stranded on a mysterious planet dubbed Malcolm X-b, they grapple with the realization that they may be light-years away from civilization. As they navigate this unfamiliar terrain, they confront the challenges of survival and the mysteries of their newfound home for the diaspora.

Scarlet Odyssey by C.T. Rwizi is the first book in the Scarlet Odyssey series. In a society where magic is deemed women’s work and war is reserved for men, eighteen-year-old Salo defies expectations by harboring a deep love for books and the mystical arts. Despite facing criticism and sacrilege, Salo secretly works on a magical device to unlock his latent powers, especially when his village falls under attack by a merciless enchantress.

Surprisingly, Salo’s queen supports his desire to pursue mysticism but insists he leave the tribe. Tasked with a quest, Salo embarks on a journey to the Jungle City, the political hub of the continent, to gather intel on a looming threat to his people.

Along the way, he finds companions in three fellow outcasts: a rejected female warrior, a mysterious nomad, and a lethal assassin. However, their journey is fraught with danger as they are pursued by the very enchantress who assaulted Salo’s village. Little do they know, she may hold the key to Salo’s awakening and redemption.
