A Vow Written In Blood

A Vow Written in Blood Some vows are written in love. Others are written in blood. Amara Okafor never expected to marry the man her family should have feared most. Dante Moretti is cold, powerful, and dangerously unreadable. When he offers Amara a six-month marriage contract that could save her late father's company, she accepts—but not because she trusts him. She has secrets of her own, and marrying Dante may be her only chance to uncover the truth about her family's past. The rules are simple: one marriage, six months, and absolutely no questions about his missing mother. But Amara has never been good at obeying rules. A mysterious photograph, a hidden key, and a chilling message begin to unravel everything she believes about her parents. Soon, she discovers that her mother's disappearance may be connected to Dante's family—and that she might not be the only daughter whose life was built on a lie. With a twin sister she never knew, a lawyer hiding dangerous secrets, and a husband she cannot decide whether to love or fear, Amara finds herself trapped in a web of betrayal that began long before their marriage. Everyone has a secret. Everyone has a motive. And the closer Amara gets to the truth, the more dangerous the people around her become. Dante may not be the monster she imagined. But trusting him could cost her everything. Because the greatest threat to their love isn't the past they inherited—it's the truth someone is willing to kill to keep buried. In a family ruled by blood, betrayal, and revenge, will their marriage become their salvation—or the vow that destroys them both?

The story I never told

My life changed in ways I never imagined when diabetes became part of my journey. Behind my smiles were fears, pain, hospital visits, and struggles that many people could never understand. Every day came with challenges, and sometimes I wondered why I had to face so much at such a young age. But this is not just a story about sickness. It is a story about courage, survival, and the strength to keep going when life becomes difficult. Through tears, uncertainty, and hope, I am learning that diabetes may be part of my life, but it will never define who I am. This is my story, my reality, and my journey—a journey I hope will inspire someone who feels alone in their own battles.

Becoming Belinda

Belinda has always imagined what her future will look like. University, a successful career, and a happy marriage are all part of the life she hopes to build. But as she approaches the end of secondary school, she begins to discover that growing up involves more than preparing for examinations and making plans for the future. Surrounded by her friends, Tolani and Mujibat, Belinda finds herself drawn into conversations about romance, attraction, and experiences she has never had herself. Their conversations awaken something within her, leaving her wondering about love, intimacy, and the person she might eventually become. As curiosity meets the expectations she has placed upon herself, Belinda begins a journey of self discovery. Between friendship, education, personal ambitions, and the mysteries of growing up, she must navigate the questions that come with discovering her identity and imagining her future. Becoming Belinda is a coming of age story about curiosity, friendship, romantic awakening, ambition, and the complicated journey from adolescence towards adulthood. It explores the experiences and questions that shape a young woman's understanding of herself and the life she wants to live.

Beyond the Camp Gate: The Journey of Life

Beyond the Camp Gate: The Journey of Life is an inspirational reflection on how NYSC camp mirrors the journey of life. Through experiences such as waiting, discipline, friendship, challenges, and unexpected delays, it reminds us that growth often comes through discomfort and uncertainty. The story teaches that everyone has a different path, but every experience carries a lesson. Ultimately, life is a series of gates, each marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. No matter how tired, confused, or afraid we feel, we must keep moving forward, trusting that every challenge can make us stronger and better prepared for what lies ahead.

NEVER MAKE ME FEEL SAFE INSIDE LIES

Never Make Me Feel Safe Inside Lies is not a book about villains. Every character in these pages who withholds something is, in their own way, trying to protect someone — themselves, the people they love, or the fragile peace they've built out of years of practice. I wanted to write a story that took that impulse seriously, instead of flattening it into simple betrayal, because I think most real heartbreak is more complicated than that, and more human. This book is set in a Lagos and an Enugu that are, I hope, recognizable and specific — the markets, the traffic, the particular texture of a Sunday afternoon — because the story felt like it could only happen here, among people shaped by exactly this mix of warmth, dignity, and inherited caution. I hope you find, somewhere in these pages, permission to ask for the truth — even when it costs something. Especially then.

The blood heir

Amara Vale has spent twenty-two years believing she is ordinary. She has no idea that her blood carries the secret of two ancient supernatural kingdoms. When she accidentally enters the world of Valemont's richest and most powerful families, she catches the attention of Lucien Devereaux—the cold vampire heir who has never believed in love. But Lucien soon discovers that Amara is not human. She is the last surviving princess of the Moonfang werewolves, and an ancient prophecy claims that her blood could either unite the supernatural world or destroy it. As vampires and werewolves prepare for war, Amara is caught between two powerful men, a deadly family secret and a woman determined to erase her from existence. Everyone wants her blood. Everyone wants her throne. And the man she is forbidden to love may be the only person capable of saving her. Because sometimes the most dangerous love story begins with a bite.

The Girl Beneath the Sacred Tree

For generations, the people of Azure village have believed that the sacred baobab tree carries the prayers of those who seek children. But when the tree is destroyed and its roots scattered, an ancient connection is thought to have been lost forever. Years later, a strange girl named Zaram begins hearing a voice from the last surviving baobab. The villagers dismiss her as a mad girl and a bad omen, unaware that she carries a bloodline thought to have disappeared long ago. When Zaram is brought before the king, she makes a revelation that could change the fate of the entire kingdom. But proving the truth may cost her life—and force the people of Azure to confront a secret their ancestors tried to bury.

The Albino Child Who Dreamed Color

In a quiet village in Edo where red earth spreads, a girl is born without pigment, her pale skin and bright eyes marking her as an omen. To her neighbors, she is a witch, a curse; to her mother, she is Isoken “Satified with what God gives.” Isoken learns early that her difference is a burden as she grows up beneath the weight of whispers and superstition. While other children dance freely under the sun, she learns to dream far from it. She dreams of a future where difference is not feared but celebrated, a sanctuary for all those the world refuses to see: the blind, the deaf, the scarred, and the forgotten, a place where they can all belong. But dreams are dangerous in a place ruled by fear. Each step she takes toward her vision draws new rejection. Each small act of courage tests how far she is willing to go. Will Isoken’s light survive in a world determined to dim it? Or will her voice be the one to awaken others who, like her, were told they didn’t belong? The Albino Child Who Dreamed Color is a haunting and hopeful story of courage, belonging, and the power

Escape from 'Okimmiri'.

It started as a wish, then grew to a desire, transitioned to a dream, and finally actions were taken with opportunities aligned, blooming a very-so-beauitiful future. Ikemgba, now called Joseph built silent dreams on becoming a 'white-coat man', as his friend, Maduba termed Medical practitioners. And being the first born and son, an ancestral line that told that he was one of the last descendants of Okimmiri, knew that such a dream is impossible. Also considering, they were embedded with the healing power of bending blood to their will. With his father on death's bed, the boy subconsciously wished him gone. When the old man finally took his breath, kicking the bucket, the boy took to his heels leaving on a promise of periodic letter visit from him to his siblings. A missionary scholarship program in display, he took the grand opportunity and was discipled under Rev'd Felix Eddington. But as time ticked and ocean tide rose, home called, echoing at every corner of the earth. He could escape Ezenuka Village Community, but not the blood that runs in his veins. Left no choice, he answered, fulfilling a prophecy that stood after the beginning of time. A price was to be paid, blood was to be shed, how would Ikemgba keep his dreams afloat when the gods were calling?

From Nothing to Something

FROM NOTHING TO SOMETHING By Abigail D. Writes Amara had three things: a heart full of dreams, a life full of struggles, and a man she believed would never abandon her. But life had other plans. Growing up with very little, Amara had always dreamed of escaping poverty and giving herself a better future. She worked hard, sacrificed her happiness, and stood beside Daniel when he had nothing. She believed that one day, they would rise together. She was wrong. The moment Daniel's life began to improve, he decided that Amara was no longer good enough for him. He walked away, leaving her heartbroken, struggling financially, and questioning her worth. But what Daniel didn't understand was that leaving Amara at her lowest point would awaken something powerful inside her. Determined to change her life, Amara begins a journey filled with painful lessons, unexpected opportunities, betrayal, friendship, and a love she never saw coming. Yet success comes with its own battles, and the past she desperately wants to escape is not finished with her. Will Amara rise above the circumstances that once defined her? And when the man who abandoned her finally sees the woman she has become, will he get a second chance? Sometimes, the people who break you are the very reason you discover how strong you can become.

The Crownless Jewel

In the ancient Yoruba city of Ile-Ife, a time of spiritual and ecological decline unfolds as sacred traditions are abandoned in favour of foreign trade and modernisation. Adegoke, the gifted but overlooked son of a minor court artisan, feels the weight of this disconnection deeply—especially as the once-vibrant Osun River sickens and the people forget their covenant with the Orisha. After a mysterious voice from the river reveals a shattered beaded crown—a symbol of the sacred pact between the Oba and Oshun, goddess of rivers—Adegoke discovers he is the “unwilling heir” destined to restore balance. Guided by cryptic wisdom from the reclusive Babalawo Baba Ologun and accompanied by his sharp-witted friend Ifeoma, daughter of the royal drummer, Adegoke embarks on a quest to recover the three fragments of the crown before the next full moon. Their journey takes them through the enchanted Iron Forest, where truth must be spoken to outwit the trickster spirit Àjẹ́, and into the heart of political betrayal when they confront Prince Adetola—the Oba’s brother—who has hidden the final fragment within a royal scepter while promoting destructive “progress” that poisons the land. Through sacrifice, sincerity, and song, Adegoke and Ifeoma summon a sacred white crocodile, fulfil Adetola’s impossible challenge, and awaken his buried conscience. In an act of communal healing, the prince joins them in reuniting the crown—not through force or ritual alone, but through renewed commitment to memory, reciprocity, and reverence for the land. When Oshun herself rises from the river, she crowns not a king, but Adegoke—the “crownless” boy who dared to care. The restored covenant flows not from gold or power, but from daily acts of respect, storytelling, and stewardship. In the end, Adegoke becomes known as “the Listener,” teaching future generations that true legacy lives not in objects, but in choices made with clean hands and open hearts.

When Kimchi Meets Jollof.

An African-Korean college student, Chisom Grace Hwang reluctantly volunteered to be part of an international programme that was to hold in Nigeria, the homeland of a father she barely remembered. Since he disappeared from her life when she was seven, and legally declared dead years after, Grace had no strong foundational knowledge about her African cultural heritage, just living the simple Busan girl life, an elite student of Yonsei University. And when she made the decision to board the plane to Lagos with her luggage packed and ready, she thought all life had to offer was Kimchi and Bibimbap. Welcome to the 3rd Annual Global Heritage Story Project. For the first two weeks of the summer programme, she cried home, longing for the comfort of her sofa in Haeundae, too homesick to appreciate the tropical climate, and vibrant culture that Nigeria offered. But then things changed. what turned to be an activity to build her resumé and perhaps network turned into something life changing. From Lagos to Enugu, and then in the bustling streets of Onitsha, Grace came to realize that when Kimchi met Jollof, she finally found the missing half of herself. She got to learn about her culture, taste dishes that satisfied her buds, attempt to speak her dialect as fluent as she could, connect with her cousins, and relatives. And then she found an answer to a question, she had long forgotten she asked. The very question, that kept her up at night, and of course, no one answered And there she was standing at the greatest turning point of her life, facing a choice she never imagined she would make, continue living the comfortable life she had always known, or follow what could finally lead her to the father the world believed was dead.

A Woman, A Mischief

A Woman, A Mischief At fifty-six, Eniola is everything her family once prayed for. Respected businesswoman. Church leader. Provider. Survivor. The first person in generations to escape the quiet poverty that swallowed both sides of her family. But inside the silence of her success lives a question she has spent decades avoiding: What did it cost her to become this woman? Born into a crowded polygamous household in southwestern Nigeria, Eniola grows up brilliant, disciplined, and dangerously hopeful. While beauty opens doors around her, poverty keeps shutting them. Denied university despite extraordinary academic promise, she leaves home young and enters Life carrying faith, ambition, and an unspoken terror of becoming trapped like the women before her. As years pass, Eniola builds a life through ruthless discipline and moral restraint, refusing the shortcuts many around her accept for survival. Her rise appears miraculous. Yet beneath her success, strange prophecies, fractured memories, emotional isolation, and buried grief begin gathering like shadows. Then old memories begin returning. A hospital corridor. A missing truth. A decision nobody fully understands. And a sentence she once tried to forget: “You cannot keep both.” Moving across decades, secrets, church culture, family wounds, and the fragile line between spiritual destiny and inherited trauma, A Woman, A Mischief is a nonlinear literary mystery about motherhood, sacrifice, survival, and the silent ways people disappear inside the lives they fought to build.

Shadows of the Kano Crescent

Behind the gilded gates of the elite Crescent, the truth is the most dangerous currency. In a city defined by its towering ambitions and ancient whispers, the Kano Crescent stands as a beacon of power. But for those who live within its curve, the shadows are lengthening. When a long-buried family secret begins to surface, it threatens to shatter the carefully polished reputations of the city’s most influential dynasty. At the heart of the storm is a protagonist caught between two worlds: the duty they owe to their heritage and a forbidden attraction to the one person who could expose everything. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, they must navigate a maze of high-society deception and urban noir. In the Crescent, everyone has something to hide—and some are willing to kill to keep their secrets hidden in plain sight.

When The Drums Fell Silent

When a group of American cultural researchers arrives in a quiet Nigerian village to study its ancient artifacts, they expect history, not heartbreak. What they don’t expect is a forbidden love—between a village princess bound by tradition and a foreigner destined to leave. In a land where ancestry is sacred and duty outweighs desire, love becomes a rebellion… and goodbye becomes the hardest promise to keep.

Big Dreams

Hunger...poverty... underdevelopment... Words that are always associated with Africa, have we ever wondered why that is the case? Why are we associated with such words when there's a lot more to us; our history and heritage, our cultures and our languages. We can't ignore the fact that we indeed have our own vices, but why should the vices be glorified when there are a plethora of beautiful things about us? "Don't you think you'll bore the class with this?" Chinaemerem asked as she turned the pages of my paper. "You think so?" I asked, "Yeah, I'm bored already and you're just midway your first page. No offense Ify, but could you make it more interesting?. Maybe add some personal experience to brighten it up. If you have no personal experience you can always ask someone around" Chinaemerem suggested "that's a brilliant idea, thank you so much Emerem. I think I'll do that instead" I won't bore you with a lecture on how we could be better as a people. I mean, if we could solve hunger and poverty it would not exist but nobody knows how to, not even the greatest minds. So why spend the little time we have glorifying our impediments, when we can revere our cultures and experiences? My name is Ifeanyichukwu Adeduni Agu, I am an igbo girl from Nigeria, a country in West Africa. And this is one of my experiences. "Now this is perfect, continue" she said sitting back.

THE UNBROKEN PATH

In the quiet village of Umueze, where faith and tradition intertwine, Nkem Okeke is born into a deeply religious family whose devotion to God runs as thick as the red soil beneath their feet. But beneath their harmony lies a wound — the family’s longing for a son in a culture that measures legacy by lineage. From childhood, Nkem’s curiosity and courage set her apart. While her father preaches purity and restraint, she dreams of independence and purpose beyond the confines of tradition. When she earns admission to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nkem steps into a new world — one that challenges her upbringing and forces her to redefine what faith, womanhood, and freedom truly mean. Her journey is one of strength tested by rejection, of conviction shaken by love, and of a daughter’s quest to reconcile faith with individuality. When her defiance leads to her father’s fury and eventual disownment, Nkem must walk an unbroken path of forgiveness, resilience, and redemption. Set against the lush backdrop of Igbo culture, The Unbroken Path is a moving tale of courage, self-discovery, and the power of staying true to one’s values in a world that demands conformity. It celebrates womanhood, questions rigid traditions, and reminds us that true faith is not in appearance — but in love, compassion, and purpose.
