The Zankli Chronicles are a three-part book series written by M. J. ​Duffy. The Zankli are an extraordinary people of ancient lineage from ​sub-Saharan Africa who are the descendants of indigenous tribesmen ​and a band of celestial beings who have amazing physical and spiritual ​powers.

At the dawn of time, in the lush and fertile land of modern-day Togo, ​the Zankli celestials interbred with the local natives for ten decades ​before their departure. Their instructions to their numerous offspring ​were that they should join with each other for five generations before ​branching out and linking with other tribes.

The earthly Zankli inherit their sires’ celestial gifts, some more than ​others, and enjoy youthful longevity—aging slower than fellow humans​—into their seventies and eighties. Some Zankli can mind merge—​speaking and hearing telepathically—others have extraordinary healing ​powers, exceptional ones can move through time and space, and the ​truly blessed have all of the gifts combined.
