Shuri is queen, but her rule is unstable after Wakanda was briefly occupied during the Apocalypse crisis. Secret tensions with neighboring African nations have reached a boiling point, particularly with N'Gabo, a mysterious and militarized country with rumored ties to an ancient empire. When a Wakandan satellite is downed, a secret underwater expedition leads to a stunning discovery: > The nation of Nazira, once thought myth — a sovereign African civilization hidden beneath the sea, ruled by a warrior-god king: Namor. Namor warns that Wakanda's global outreach, mutant politics, and technological recklessness are tearing at the old natural pacts. He gives Shuri one chance: withdraw from the surface world… or prepare for war. As conflict erupts, both nations must reckon with ancient promises made to the Celestials — and a weapon buried in the ocean that could awaken Galactus himself.
