Award-Winning Scholar and Author Francis Anderson Delivers a Gripping Novel of Friendship, Betrayal, and Redemption
What happens when the boy who saved you becomes the man who could destroy you?

Tobi and his closest friend grew up inseparable, chasing boyhood dreams through the bustling streets of Festac Town, Lagos-a city alive with ambition, temptation, and danger. But as they come of age, loyalty is tested by betrayal, gang violence, and the relentless hunger for power. What once bound them together begins to pull them apart, and survival becomes a brutal language neither boy was prepared to speak.

Haunted by waking nightmares, crushed beneath family expectations, and drawn by the seductive promise of the streets, Tobi faces an impossible choice: remain loyal to the brother who once saved his life, or break free from the darkness threatening to consume them both. As the line between past and present blurs, every decision carries consequences that cannot be undone.

Set against the vibrant yet unforgiving backdrop of urban Lagos, Glass and Darkness is a raw and unflinching coming-of-age story that explores friendship, betrayal, redemption, and the fragile boundary between hope and despair.

Perfect for readers who enjoy African literary fiction, contemporary coming-of-age novels, and emotionally driven stories, this novel will appeal to fans of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Tayari Jones, Imbolo Mbue, NoViolet Bulawayo, and Yaa Gyasi.
