In the ancient Igbo kingdom of Nri, the red earth holds stories of kings, warriors, and gods who watch from beyond the veil.
When young Obieze ascends the throne, the people rejoice but joy quickly turns to tension as betrayal brews within the council, war looms with neighboring villages, and the gods deliver a chilling prophecy: The throne shall hold only when the king's heart holds no shadow.
With the weight of kingship on his shoulders, Obieze must choose between vengeance and mercy, war and peace, love and duty. Guided by his wise queen Ifunanya, tested by betrayal from within, and pushed to the edge by war, Obieze must prove he is not just a ruler, but the king Nri needs before the throne falls and the gods turn away forever.
A sweeping, emotional epic of love, sacrifice, and destiny, The Throne of Nri brings to life the sights, sounds, and spirit of Igbo land from vibrant festivals and sacred rituals to the clash of spears under the moon.
Perfect for readers of African historical fiction, myth-inspired tales, and dramatic family sagas.
