Born in Etemi kingdom of Ankpa, Kogi State, Prince Ibraheem Ele Ojo (God's gift) carries the blood of two worlds-the son of the Attah of Igala and a Fulani warrior mother whose courage and fire shaped his restless spirit. From childhood, he was both the pride and the headache of everyone around him: his stern father, his fearless mother, his watchful stepmothers, his two protective elder sisters, and the entire Etemi kingdom.
Brilliant yet mischievous, brave yet reckless, Ibraheem was destined for greatness but walked always on the edge of trouble. His adventures, pranks, and daring spirit earned him admiration from some and endless worry from others.
On one of his restless journeys beyond the palace walls, Ibraheem ventures north to Bicci in Kano State, where fate introduces him to Fatima-a princess of sharp mind, quiet strength, and uncommon beauty. Their meeting ignites a love that is both thrilling and dangerous, for no ordinary maiden can easily capture the heart of a prince.
But for the heir of Etemi, love is never simple. His family expects loyalty, his father demands obedience, and the elders insist on alliances that will strengthen the kingdom. To love Fatima is to defy them all.
Torn between the throne he is bound to inherit and the forbidden drumbeats of his heart, Prince Ibraheem must choose: will he sacrifice love for duty, or defy tradition and risk crown, kin, and kingdom for the woman who completes him?
A sweeping tale of royalty, rebellion, and romance, Forbidden Drumbeats tells the story of a mischievous prince whose greatest battle is not against kingdoms or rivals, but against the demands of duty and the call of love.

Ashes of a Silent Bride
Du'a was born from a love hidden in shadows-a secret marriage between Alhaji Ahmad Sanusi and Firdausi, an Igala beauty whose life was cut short in a tragic accident when Du'a was barely two years old. With no other choice, Alhaji Ahmad brought his daughter into the grand household of his first wife, Ramatu, and his formidable mother, Hajiya Turai, whom everyone called Kaka. But instead of a home, Du'a found herself trapped in a cage of cruelty. Ramatu and Kaka despised her very existence, and her half-sister Bilkisu, jealous of Du'a's striking beauty, bullied her at every turn. Her father, torn between duty and weakness, could not shield her from their wrath. At fourteen, Du'a's fate took an even darker turn when Kaka reconnected with her childhood friend-Hajiya Aisha, the revered Queen Mother of the Kano Emirate. The Queen Mother, doting on her twin grandsons Ashraf and Arnaf, sought a wife for Arnaf, the troubled younger twin burdened with insomnia and mental affliction. Kaka, seizing the chance to rid herself of the girl she considered a burden, offered Du'a without hesitation. Thrust into marriage far too young, Du'a found herself in the palace, bewildered and childlike, struggling to understand a husband who was distant, cold, and broken. In her innocence, she often mistook his twin, the warm and playful Ashraf, for the man she had been forced to marry. Caught between palace intrigue, her husband's silent torment, and the dangerous stirrings of forbidden affection, Du'a must navigate a path where every step could either break her spirit-or awaken her destiny.Complete

DESTINED FOR THE CROWN.
In the grand Kano Emirate, Sultan Abdulrahman III ruled with wisdom, power, and an unshakable sense of justice. Yet beneath the glory of his reign brewed a storm within his own household. On the same fateful day, four princes were born to four different mothers-each one raised to believe the throne belonged to him alone. Prince Abdul Malik, the fiery eldest of Lady Muzaina, carried ambition like a sword. Prince Abdul Hameed, heir of Queen Ruhaima, was bred in pride and entitlement. Prince Abdulrazak, son of Lady Hafsah, mastered cunning and manipulation. And Prince Abdulsalaam, the youngest, born of Lady Maimoon, was unlike them all-an introverted yet peaceful soul, adored by the people and quietly cherished by the Sultan. Raised in the care of their formidable grandmother, Sultana A'isha, Abdulsalaam grew into a man who never fought for the crown, yet every word he spoke carried weight. His gentleness stood in stark contrast to his brothers' arrogance and cruelty, earning him both their hatred and the people's love. But the fragile balance of the royal household shattered when Sultana A'isha discovered an unconscious maiden, Arfah, during one of her evening strolls. Brought into the palace, Arfah's beauty and mystery captured the hearts of all four princes at once. Love became another battlefield, entwining itself with ambition, rivalry, and destiny. As secrets unravel and the struggle for power deepens, one question looms over the Kano Emirate: Will the throne be claimed by fire, pride, or peace? The Prince of Peace is a tale of power, betrayal, brotherhood, and the one prince whose silence may prove stronger than swords.Complete

Determined to avoid the stigma of being labeled a divorcée, she endured a marriage that eventually broke her. Now divorced, she faces a harsh reality-freedom tainted by societal judgment. Her beauty draws countless admirers, yet the moment her past is revealed, they scatter like whispers in the wind. Her family urges her to remarry, pushing her to choose from suitors who see only her outward allure. But Hafsa isn't ready to settle again-not for convenience, not for approval. She craves something far more precious: healing, peace, and the chance to rebuild her shattered self. Amidst the relentless scrutiny, Ibrahim enters her life-a man who sees her beyond the labels. Quiet, strong, and unyielding, he becomes her anchor in the storm. Ibrahim watches over her, shields her from the cruelty of the world, and gently mends the wounds she's too afraid to show. Against all odds, he fights to be with her, defying a society that deems their love impossible. In a world where the scars of divorce threaten to define her, Hafsa must decide: will she let the stigma shatter her dreams, or will she take Ibrahim's hand and rewrite her story on her own terms? A moving tale of resilience, self-discovery, and an all-consuming love that rises above the noise of judgment and tradition. This is Hafsa's journey-a battle to reclaim her life and prove that even in a world of broken expectations, love can conquer all.Complete

At twenty-four, he's the university's golden boy with a notorious reputation and a nickname that fits too well: the Sarcasm Lord. He doesn't chase things... things chase him. Until he met her. Dr. Aneesa Ibrahim Pape, twenty-seven, elegant, composed, and far too serious for her own good, becomes his lecturer - and the only woman he can't charm with a smirk. To her, Ayyan is just another arrogant, spoiled brat who needs to grow up. To him, she's the woman who made his world tilt off balance with a single glance. When his teasing turns to persistence and her indifference turns to hidden turmoil, the line between right and wrong begins to blur. Aneesa's family was already on her neck for being unmarried at twenty-seven, but falling for her student is the last thing she can afford. Yet Ayyan doesn't take no for an answer - not when it comes to love. Behind his sarcasm lies sincerity; behind her restraint, longing. Their story is one of forbidden glances, unspoken emotions, and a love that laughs in the face of reason - but can even the boldest heart survive when society, family, and time all say no?Complete
