Gold should make people happy not sick, scared, and ready to fight each other. But when strange nuggets flood Kumasi's market, chaos breaks loose: traders quarrel, servants collapse, and whispers spread that the ancestors are punishing the Ashanti.
As if that isn't bad enough, a shadowy figure the phantom begins gliding along the palace walls at night, leaving trails of ash and terror. Some call it a ghost. Afia calls it nonsense. But when royal treasures vanish alongside the cursed gold, even she begins to wonder how deep the shadows go.
With Yaw's clumsy help and Ama's fierce determination, Afia plunges into the forest, down into a sealed mine, and straight into the phantom's trap. To save Kumasi, she must prove that the only real curse is greed and unmask a villain who hides behind fear itself.
Packed with suspense, humor, and heart, Afia and the Phantom Gold delivers another thrilling mystery rooted in Ashanti history and culture. Perfect for readers aged 9-12 who love daring girl detectives, secrets in the shadows, and adventures where friendship shines brighter than fear.
