Emilia was heartbroken, shattered, and impinged about the turnout of things with Jake. She needed a break from everyone, and so she flew into a former capital city of Africa's 'Most Populous' Nation - Lagos, Nigeria. But a near death experience occurred minutes after she landed; and it was just the beginning of an end.
Having lived and bred on the streets of Lagos, Emperor involuntarily became a boss in the underworld. He lived a life which was never his, regarded as the people's messiah, a danger to the corrupt officers of the law, and also earned respect from the gang lords and street boys alike. But his years on the throne became thwarted, when an encounter with an American led to his own life being on the line.
The unexpected encounter between the two was supposed to last as a blessing to each other. But when the forces that long respected one, decided to turn against the tide; the hunter then became the hunted. Emperor who is a believed murderer, had to damn all consequences by the delivering the American safely to her people's embassy.
The novel is set in the busiest city of Lagos, Nigeria. In an incident which occurred in a space of five days, mysteries of those dwelling in the underworld were unraveled. It is filled with thriller, the thirst for revenge, and the quest for power. It has the inclusion of the Yoruba language, and also the Pidgin/Broken English.
