Derrick Green is the definition of calm, cool and collected. He is taking on extra work to help support his sister through cancer treatment.

Irekan is in trouble. He likes a boy, and the problem isn't that the boy likes him back-the problem is he's not supposed to be gay. Moving to Nigeria was supposed to be his blank slate, a chance to successfully pray the gay away. But he failed, and things only go downhill from here. Life was never going to be easy for Irekan-he's Nigerian, and that's already minus one on his good life bingo card. But with exams around the corner and Nosa smiling at him like he created the firmaments, he doesn't really have time for riots and parental abuse. Yet, he finds himself swept up in the whirlwind of police brutality protests, his parents are scheming, and everyone thinks he's some kind of martyr when he just wants to be in love in peace. With academic pressure mounting, the threat of his family moving back abroad, and one heck of a secret romance, Irekan is forced to choose between those who see him for who he truly is and living a lie.

Aetherra was a land divided by the elements but united by harmony. Four realms-Fire, Earth, Air, and Water-each thrived under the watchful guidance of the Zodiac Concord. This mystical force maintained balance, linking the realms through energy, spirit, and tradition. From the molten spires of Zyra to the floating towers of Zephyra, the people of Aetherra lived proud and free. They celebrated their heritage, danced to the rhythms of their music, and honored the spirits of their ancestors. Their skin gleamed under the sun, dark as the fertile soil of Terradon, and their hair twisted and braided in styles that told stories of generations. But harmony is a fragile flame. A sudden tremor shook the ground beneath Terradon. Molten rivers surged unexpectedly in Zyra. Winds in Zephyra whipped beyond control, tearing apart bridges in midair. And in Aquarion, tides rose higher than ever before, threatening the crystal towers and canals of the city. Something-or someone-was disrupting the elemental balance of Aetherra. And the Concord had chosen its champions
