In the quiet village of Obeledu, love is a simple promise. In Lagos, it is a battle for survival.
Obinna and Adaku's bond was forged in childhood-innocent, fierce, and absolute. But when poverty drives Obinna to the unforgiving streets of Lagos, that promise is tested by distance, hunger, and violence.
As Obinna battles for his life under Ojuelegba Bridge, Adaku begins her own journey through university. But when she becomes stranded in Lagos while trying to visit him, she falls into the hands of a disgraced doctor with a terrifying saviour complex.
Tender, unsettling, and deeply human, Daniel Nkado's novel explores innocence, cruelty, self-discovery, and survival-the forces that constantly test the patience of love.
