Sold Kin is the first struggling epopee coming from the creativity of this Ibeku Man born in the southern part of Nigeria. This is a story of a group of men and women who try to redeem themselves from an unfair system of exploitation, where human beings were treated less than objects during the Atlantic slave trade. It is also the story of courageous women who overcome stereotypes: the white woman who rebels against the system that her father feeds, and the native protagonist, Adanna, who emerges proudly above her male peers, as if to announce the necessary decline of an anachronistic system and hope for gender equality. She is a leader who fights for her people and reveals a soul beneath her warrior and combative soul, just as so sweet and maternal when she takes care of a young boy left alone. Characters belonging to a universe and a system of values far from Western patterns appear in this fresco of an unwritten story, but narrated through tradition, where witchcraft, magic and the use of occult powers base their cosmology. It is impossible not to connect with the Herbalist, a man dedicated to his people, gifted with exceptional charisma, whose destiny will intersect with that of Adanna. Family bonds are sometimes stronger than any alliance and the struggle to make justice triumph and subvert an unjust system comes to the fore.
