Adult Tree: And Your Eyes Shall Be Opened

By STANLEY EDOKPOLO

What happens when a people vow to the land itself-and the land begins to answer?

In Adult Tree, Stanley Broderick Edokpolo delivers an unforgettable tale of love, betrayal, and survival set in the ancient kingdom of Aalkin.

Princess Itoro leads her people to a new land whispered to be paradise. A covenant is spoken-an oath of obedience, a bond with the soil. For a time, the land yields abundance. Yet beneath its silence, questions stir. Can men keep faith when ambition burns? Can a vow hold when desire and deception creep into the camp?

At the heart of this struggle stand three figures:

Maro, the steadfast warrior bearing the weight of survival.

Itoro is torn between duty, shame, and the hope of redemption.

Ikemba, the prince whose cunning and courage decide the fate of the throne.

Their choices ignite conspiracies in the palace, awaken ancient powers, and test the fragile tether between people and the land they claim. From whispered plots in shadowed taverns to storms that shake entire villages, Adult Tree is a sweeping epic where paradise and peril walk side by side.

Fans of Chinua Achebe, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, and Elechi Amadi will find themselves enthralled by this lyrical narrative-at once timeless and urgently relevant.
