"You say you hate me, but your eyes...they only ever look for me." Lanre's deep and velvety voice boomed despite its low tone, his eyes never leaving her face.
Wunmi felt her face heat up under his gaze and quickly retorted, her eyes narrowed at him. "That's not true."
She felt the vibration again, but this time it came from the rich laughter that escaped him.
"What's so funny?"
"I know you pinch your thumb when you lie," his eyes dropped down to where her right thumb was still held captive by her other fingers. "So... why don't you try again?"
When love defies tradition, who pays the price?
In the ancient Yoruba village of Ile-Aye, Prince Lanre returns from his studies in Lagos to find his world unchanged, bound by rigid customs and expectations. But everything shifts when he meets Adewunmi, the spirited daughter of the village's most talented aso oke weaver, whose sharp tongue and fierce independence challenge everything he thought he knew about love and duty.
Their forbidden romance blooms in secret-stolen moments by moonlit streams, whispered promises beneath ancient baobab trees, and stolen kisses that taste of rebellion and hope. But when war erupts between neighbouring villages, their love becomes a luxury neither can afford.
As enemy forces close in, the village elders demand an impossible choice: sacrifice their love to forge political alliances, or watch their people perish in the flames of conflict. With Adunni facing the horror of becoming the old king's concubine and Adebayo bound to marry a foreign princess, they must decide what they're willing to lose for love and what they're willing to fight for.
