Welcome to A CROWN OF FOOL'S GOLD, The second part of Women of steel, I've been waiting to tell Omolara's story. In ACOT, we saw her briefly as a spoilt brat and mostly unaware of her brother's evils. She wasn't supposed to be anything other than a brat, at least in Demilade's eyes but I realized she does have a story to tell. I will begin officially posting chapters here in this same book by MAY, but for now, the prologue is up.

This book is a Rumpelstiltskin retelling, not particularly a popular fairytale but one of my favourites.

The story of Rumpelstiltskin in summary is a fairy tale about a dwarf who saves the miller’s daughter by spinning straw into gold in exchange for her first-born child, but is foiled when she guesses his name. This story is a loose retelling which means it will not follow everything to book.

----------

Warning;

This work contains violence and gore, it details the ugly side of slavery and depression.

Not really a warning but, this book contains a swoonworthy, mischievous Yoruba god. There is a little bit of romance in this book, so do stick around.

Sypnosis:

Three months after the death of her king and brother, Tadenikawo, Omolara; the former princess still finds herself slave to the new reputation created by Ile Wura. Ile Wura hails their new king and scorns Omolara, forcing her to take on a new alias in search of an adventure.

Desperate to be something she is not, Omolara finds herself in the middle of a century conflict and in the traps of a mysterious god. There's danger everywhere she turns and perhaps she just might become the very thing her ancestors had never been -- Hero.
