Description
In a kingdom where prophecy is treated as law and survival depends on who controls the story, a reluctant figure is drawn into a dangerous plot to unseat the ruler at its center. As alliances fracture and loyalties are tested, the campaign to “make the king fall” becomes a reckoning with power, identity, and the cost of obedience. Blending political intrigue with high-stakes personal stakes, this novel explores themes of fate versus agency, the violence embedded in institutions, and what it truly means to break a cycle without becoming the next tyrant. With sharp tension and a vivid, character-driven voice, Kemi Ashing-Giwa delivers a gripping, fast-moving tale that asks whether justice can be achieved through sacrifice—or only through transformation.
