Hoyindee
She was raised in chains-then returned to rule without a crown.
Abuse marked her. Love confused her. Power changed her.
Now, Adetife Adeola is not just surviving...
She's taking back an empire that was built on her scars.
......
Adetife Adeola was born into silence-raised in a powerful Nigerian family where secrets were sacred, and bruises were kept beneath lace. Her father ruled through fear. Her mother taught her to smile through blood. Her world was a gilded cage... until she broke it.
Now, years later, Adetife returns to a land twisted by corruption, haunted by ancestors, and dominated by men who believe they cannot be replaced.
But Adetife is not here to fit in.
She's here to burn the blueprint.
With a sharp tongue, a haunted past, and an army of misfits behind her, she navigates politics, betrayal, forbidden romance, and ancient rituals - all while trying not to fall for the very person who might destroy her.
And somewhere in the shadows... something older than pain is watching her. Waiting. Judging.
Will she reclaim her birthright?
Or will the empire reclaim her?
