"When a chief dies without a crown, war does not knock... it storms."
In the sacred village of Aroko, peace is a mask-thin and cracking. The mighty Chief Odum is found dead under mysterious circumstances. His sacred staff, the symbol of power, has vanished. And with it, so has the village's future.
The silence is broken by the forbidden drums-heard only in times of war. But no war has been declared. Not yet.
Ikemba, the chief's banished son, returns with a vengeance, carrying scars, secrets, and the truth behind his father's death. But claiming the throne won't be easy-enemies sit at the council table, and a dark force stirs in the forest.
A mysterious woman in white appears with riddles from the ancestors.
A masked warlord rises, claiming to be the true Chief of War.
And deep beneath the palace lies a prophecy... one that says:
"If two heirs rise, the village will fall."
In a land ruled by tradition and blood oaths, only one can lead.
But power always comes at a price.

NOMZAMO: Against my will
When life forces you to do something you are against with all your heart, but because you don't want to hurt people who mean the world to you. You shove your feelings down your stomach, and consider their feelings by doing exactly what they want. It doesn't make sense, right? But it will as we go down the journey. On the journey of sacrifices, there are two of us, but one must reign in the end. Who will it be? Copyright © 2021 by Ayanda.N This book is a work of fiction.

The Fire Beneath the Throne
Magic is forbidden. Love is dangerous. Prophecy is absolute. Alex Corvus was born with a secret he cannot reveal-magic in a world that burns those who wield it. Hidden away in the quiet edges of Ravenwood, he lives between shadows and silence, watched over by his frail mother and the two friends who know the truth: Johnny, the reckless heir to a noble house, and Lyra, his sister, a scholar who believes in reason over faith. When Alex accepts an apprenticeship under the mysterious Lord Arnaut, his life changes forever. Arnaut is brilliant, unsettling, and far too kind to be trusted. Yet in his dark halls, Alex finds more than mentorship-he finds belonging... and something dangerously close to love. But the past never stays buried. The old servant, Dot, knows what Alex truly is-and what he will become. The Goddess whispers to him in dreams, guiding his hand toward a destiny written long before his birth. Bloodlines are not forgotten. Curses do not die. As the kingdom fractures and magic stirs beneath the throne, Alex's power grows-and so does something else, something alive within him, a secret too sacred to name. By moonlight, a prophecy awakens. By dawn, a king will burn. Author's Note: This is the Beta Version of The Fire Beneath the Throne. Chapters will be updated and refined over time. Thank you for reading early and sharing your feedback!

When Gods Cry
In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening. Thousands of years later, animosity between the two tribes has culminated in a pending war and at the centre of this war stands Muma, an Amathu boy born with the mark of good. Stricken by grief when his rebel brother is executed, Muma embarks on a mission to free his people. Infiltrating the city of the Kasuhi, he seeks to bring down their society and free his people. Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.Terminé
Lost Power
The ancestors don't ask - they choose. Nina never asked to lead. She never wanted the bond that tied her to two men, or the war that tore her home apart. But destiny doesn't wait for permission.

Between love and loyalty, faith and fury, she must decide what kind of leader she will become: the savior her people prayed for... ...or the storm they were warned about. Because when one was broken, the rest fell - and she fell with them.Terminé

The King Who Loved
In a kingdom ruled by fear and bloodshed, King Aatish has long held power through ruthlessness and control. His reign is one of iron fists and cold distance, where mercy is seen as weakness, and compassion is nothing but a tool for manipulation. Yet, when a neighboring queen, renowned for her wisdom and kindness, crosses into his territory with an offer of peace, Aatish's world begins to shift. Queen Nashira's realm thrives not through fear, but through love and understanding. She leads with a heart that listens to her people, and every decision she makes is for the good of the many, not the few. When the two rulers meet, their opposing views on leadership collide. Nashira sees potential in Aatish, and despite his initial resistance, begins to show him that true power is not in domination, but in nurturing the souls of the people. As Nashira teaches Aatish the delicate art of ruling with compassion, he slowly begins to change-not only as a king but as a man. Her unwavering belief in him sparks a transformation he never thought possible, leading him to question everything he once believed about love, loyalty, and power. Yet, this change comes at a cost. The closer he grows to Nashira, the more he risks losing everything he's built-and the harder it becomes to reconcile his feelings with his duty. In a world where love and leadership are often at odds, The King Who Loved is a tale of redemption, sacrifice, and the enduring belief that true strength lies not in what one can control, but in what one is willing to protect.Terminé
SCANDAL
At 3:27 a.m., rain falls softly over Makoko, the kind of rain that feels less like weather and more like memory. Zainab Olawale stands beneath a flickering streetlight, holding a Bible she did not come to pray with. Inside it is a note written by a person who knew they might not survive long enough to explain. A name. A warning. A confession written in fear. Dimeji Koleosho. To most people, he is a senator. To Zainab, he is something closer to a wound. Years ago, her father lost everything. His reputation. His voice. His life, in ways that never made the news. No one ever told her why. Until now. Zainab is not searching for justice in the grand, heroic sense. She is searching for understanding. For the truth behind a past that refuses to stay buried. Each step she takes pulls her deeper into a Lagos that exists beneath the bright lights - a city of offshore accounts, silenced journalists, compromised pastors, and powerful men who never get their hands dirty. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to understand that some secrets are not hidden. They are protected. And sometimes, the most dangerous moment is not when you uncover a secret... But when you realize you can no longer look away. Scandal is a story about power, silence, faith, and the quiet courage it takes to choose the truth, even when it costs everything.Terminé
Death's Illusion
Her family named her - "Heir". The prophecy named her - "Death". Most named her - "Enemie". Alina Corundum's quiet life of observation is shattered.

A hidden rot plagues their city, a threat woven from illusions and manipulations that threatens to consume everything they hold dear. To survive, they must learn to see the truth behind the lies. Must learn to read between the lines. But in a world where perception is a double edge sword, the most dangerous lie might be the one they told themselves.
