AURORA (Dawn)

🌅 Dawn - A Nigerian Coming-of-Age Drama 🌅

Fourteen-year-old Bola is an orphan, a devout Christian girl trying to stay afloat in the lavish yet fractured home of the Adeyanyus - a wealthy Lagos family with secrets buried behind their high walls and polished smiles.

But beneath the chandeliers and marble floors, pain festers.

When a tender connection with Bernard, her guardian's teenage son, crosses a line, Bola is left shattered - not just by shame, but by silence. In a world where she already feels invisible, the weight of her mistake threatens to crush her. Kanyinsola, her once-loyal best friend and Bernard's fiery sister, distances herself. Morenike, the matriarch of the house, turns cruel. And when Bernard and Kanyinsola are suddenly sent away to London, Bola is left behind - broken, alone, and suffocating.

With no one left to protect her and abuse escalating behind closed doors, Bola begins to realize: survival may mean escape. And escape may be the only way to reclaim her voice.

Set against the vibrant and volatile backdrop of contemporary Nigeria, Dawn is a haunting, emotionally layered coming-of-age tale about faith, secrecy, friendship, and the quiet strength of a girl finding her way out of darkness.

Perfect for readers who love raw, character-driven stories with faith, depth, and heart.
