In The Reign Of Evil

In the early pre-colonial years, in the then known Ile-Ife empire, a king had ruled and he was known as the Alaafin, the chosen one of the gods, he was the pride and joy of the people, that is, until he goes against the customs and traditions of the kingdom and takes the laws of the people into his own hands, he will then be asked to commit suicide.
So what happens when the Alaafin is presented with the empty calabash but he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to give up his throne, when the most loyal of men are asked to turn their backs on the very people who raised them and the ways of the people are turning out to be not what they seem?.
Delve deep into the history of the Nigerian-Yoruba culture, where there wasn't just slave trade and colonisation, where the very leader of the land turns his back on his own people because of jealousy, greed, lust and power.
