A Place of Nights: War and Resurrection
By Oloye Ifa Karade

In this empowering epic novel, Princess Emina stands defiantly before the council. In an attempt to justify her actions, she cries out for the world to hear: “I will not marry anyone whom I do not love.” Her rebellious nature angers King Adefemi, her father. He exacts law upon his daughter for her refusal to comply with the arranged marriage to take place. Forsaking her royal duty because “her heart belongs to another” will not go unpunished. Her sentence: Exile to the distant colony of Janjure. Time passes and Emina adapts to her strange, new life. In secret, she meets with an old aboriginal who initiates her into the spiritual ways of his people. Then one night, feral pirates attack. They plunder the colony and feast on the captives. Choosing suicide over torture, she plunges into the lake. Her struggle awakens the dragon-god and he resurrects her in order to stop the wars that plague humanity –beginning with her father’s aggressive kingdom. Unable to halt his tyrannical madness, Emina returns to the lake. Overcome with guilt, she reasons that by changing herself she can also change the horrible events that surround her –she must resurrect again. Her solemn request is granted, but she’ll have no memory of what lead to her death. And, she must, as a priestess, deliver an ultimatum to mankind: “Find salvation and ultimate peace before heaven does or be obliterated.”
