Author Description

They are from two opposing worlds, but they are inextricably tied together. One will die; the other will live. Jolaade was born on the cushion of glamor in New York. Oludayo was born alone in the tropical jungles of West Africa. As the intricacies of their lives unfold from the glamor of New York to the vibrant city of Lagos, Nigeria, and the jungles of West Africa, they are plunged into a web where each one must save the life of the other. Who dies? Who lives? As a modern world reaches through the ages to make sense of the past, we have a buildup where love and sacrifice make a mockery of conventional definitions. Can Jolaade evolve into a natural-born African princess who must battle with forced child marriage, sexual abuse, and ritualistic female genital mutilation to become a beacon of hope to a multitude? Can Oludayo survive motherlessness from minute one, a congenital heart defect, a vindictive stepmother, communal wars, and murder accusations to become a plausible candidate to one of the most prominent thrones in Africa? What happens when they come face to face?
