The kingdom of Ifite had a complex tradition that differed from other kingdoms in Igboland. The kingship was nonlinear - it circulated among the families favoured by Ikukuike, the only deity in the land. The chosen family would rule for a period of eight seasons. The orator of the deity served office for a lifetime, and it alternated between a woman and a man. The next mouthpiece was chosen by the deity himself a moon after the former had passed on. The kingdom had a stream running before the shrine of the deity, and anyone who had come to consult had to pass through it before entering. It was known as the sacred stream of purity yet there was more to it that nobody, not even the Ezemmuo knew about. This was an agrarian community sufficient through favours of the deity. Ijemmiri was invited to work for the palace after she was favoured by the queen. She couldn't have turned down the offer because in Ifite serving royalty was an honour. Igwe Ojemba had one season to go before the crown would be shifted to around family. There wasn't any opposition to this tradition until Lolo Nneora conspired with a Dibia in the neighbouring kingdom to influence the spiritual realms that decided the next ruler. She made sacrifices so that the kingship would eternally remain in the lineage of her husband, the king. The death of Ezemmuo came as an opportunity to her, thinking that her disobedient plan would fruition. Little did she know that the maid she favoured was the next Ezenwanyi.

In a distant future where Earth has been abandoned and humanity thrives among the stars, an advanced cyborg-the son of a renowned scientist-embarks on a routine mission on Mars. But when a catastrophic flight malfunction sends him spiraling through time and space, he crashes into the depths of Earth's long-forgotten ocean. There, in the vast waters of Africa, he is discovered by an ethereal being-a powerful guardian whose lineage holds the secrets of the old world. Unlike the cyborg, who was built for precision and function, this water-born entity is a force of nature, deeply connected to the planet's ancient wisdom. He is history incarnate, carrying the knowledge of civilizations long erased from memory. As these two souls-one born of the stars, the other of the deep-collide, a connection forms that defies time, reason, and the laws of the universe. But with each moment they share, the ripples of their meeting begin to alter fate itself. Forces from the future are searching for what was lost, and the past is not so willing to remain buried. Can love bridge the gap between worlds? Can history and technology intertwine without unraveling the very fabric of time? Their story is one of love, destiny, and defiance-where the past whispers, the future looms, and the present is a fragile thread between the two.

A young man named Femi has to run away from his past mistakes but what we don't know is if nemesis would catch up on him, or he'd be a free man once again.
