🌍 Plot Summary

After the events of Wakanda Forever, Queen Shuri has grown into her role as both ruler and protector, but peace never lasts. When General N’Kosi, a former Wakandan strategist exiled years ago, returns with a plan to “purify” Wakanda and lead it into a new, militant era, Shuri must confront a battle not only for her people—but for Wakanda’s soul.

As civil unrest brews, Shuri begins seeing visions of Erik Killmonger, who offers cryptic advice from the ancestral plane. Is he there to guide her… or tempt her?

Meanwhile, rumors of hidden Wakandan outposts and ancient secrets buried beneath Mount Bashenga hint at a deeper conspiracy—one that ties back to Wakanda’s earliest kings and the origin of Vibranium itself.

With Wakanda’s future hanging in the balance, alliances are shattered, legends rise, and a war from within may destroy the nation before any enemy ever could.
