In a kingdom gilded with oil, gold - and secrets - a boy becomes more than just a servant to a king.
When Keira is sold by his own father to the distant, powerful land of Oka-Ile, he is forced into the sacred and terrifying role of Abobaku - the one fated to die with the king. But young King Aderemi is no ordinary monarch, and Keira is no ordinary boy.
Oka-Ile glitters with wealth, but darkness brews beneath its royal robes. Five corrupt chiefs siphon the kingdom's riches, and they will stop at nothing to maintain their grip on power - even if it means murder. As betrayal thickens, only Keira, the king's most loyal - and unexpected - companion stands between Aderemi and death.
But destiny twists further when Keira's bold sister, Geneva, arrives to rescue him - only to find herself entangled in forbidden romance. And so does the king. Torn between duty, legacy, and a love he never expected - for both Geneva and Keira - Aderemi must make a choice that could rewrite the fate of a kingdom.
Lush with Yoruba royalty, unrequited desire, and burning secrets, this is a story of love, sacrifice, and the courage to defy fate.
