A Story That Demands to Be Told

In parts of Africa, being born with albinism can be a death sentence. Children with pale skin are hunted, mutilated, and killed—their body parts sold to witch doctors who promise wealth and power. Communities shun them as cursed. Families abandon them in shame. This is the reality that inspired The Secret of Luminaries.

The Secret of Luminaries follows Bianca, a girl marked as different from her first breath. Orphaned, feared, and labeled a monster simply for the condition she was born with, she becomes a symbol of everything society refuses to understand. When JP, a determined activist, tries to save her and prove her humanity to an unforgiving world, his good intentions collide with brutal reality. One devastating mistake shatters his mission of compassion, transforming him from protector into avenger.

Written by human rights lawyer B.N. Dunn, this is more than fiction—it’s a mirror held up to one of Africa’s darkest ongoing crises. Through Bianca’s story, Dunn exposes the deadly superstitions that turn innocent people into prey and asks uncomfortable questions about justice, revenge, and the cost of standing up for the powerless.

Raw, urgent, and unforgettable, this book challenges readers to confront a cultural nightmare hiding in plain sight. It’s a call to awareness, a cry for change, and a testament to those who refuse to look away.
