The Cost of Air

The Cost of Air By Ajani Musa In a city where even breathing has a price, one man dares to make it free. Lagos — restless, loud, unrepentant — is a place where the powerful thrive on chaos, and the poor choke on what’s left. Amid the noise and greed stands Bayo Adeniran, a principled engineer determined to build clean projects in a dirty system. But when he saves a gasping child from dying in traffic, the act of mercy shatters his carefully controlled world. That single moment pulls him into a storm of corruption, secrets, and power — where air itself has become currency. The government’s grand “Air Renewal Project” promises progress, but Bayo soon discovers the truth: it’s a front to profit from pollution, a silent weapon designed to suffocate the city’s poor. As he digs deeper, allies turn to threats, and silence becomes survival. Beside him stands Tope Adegoke, a fearless journalist haunted by her brother’s death in a factory explosion the system buried. Together, they expose a network of elites who control the very air Nigerians breathe. When Lagos is plunged into darkness and fear, their resistance becomes the city’s last breath of hope. But defiance has a cost — and every truth uncovered demands payment in blood, faith, or freedom. The Cost of Air is a powerful socio-political thriller — raw, emotional, and urgent. It asks one question that echoes through every page: If air is life, what happens when life itself becomes a luxury?

And the creator of all Arbiters...the Architect...descends to witness the birth of something no world has ever seen: A tri-bond strong enough to rebuild reality from scratch. A new era begins.

MANDÉ : The Lion Awakens

The Mandé is a world governed by Nyama, the vital force that animates all things — as destructive as it is protective. Long ago, the kingdoms tore each other apart without end. Bloody wars, cities burned to ash, conquests without limits… The Mandé fractured under the ambitions of the Faama (Kings) and under the wrath of spirits, some of whom had been corrupted by humans through the dark side of Nyama. To stop the collapse of the world, twelve kingdoms — the Twelve Pillars of the Mandé — swore a sacred Oath in Niani, the Heart of the Mandé. A pact meant to restore peace, protect the balance of Nyama, and prevent another total war forever. The Oath was so powerful that it gave birth to Tasuma, the Oath Bird, a Primordial Manifestation and blazing guardian of balance. But today, Soumaoro Kanté, the Sorcerer-King of Sosso, has broken the order of the world. He has placed himself outside the Oath: neither Tasuma, nor the spirits, nor the living can judge his kingdom anymore. His power devours cities and memories. As the balance of the Mandé falters, a young heir of destiny rises: Djata (Soundjata Keita). Born under a forgotten sign… Destined to become the Mansa Supreme, an existence capable of harmonizing Nyama, awakening the ancient forces, and re-tuning a fractured world. To save the Mandé, Djata must face the shadows of the past… and the man who defied the Primordial Manifestation of the Oath, shaking the order of the world itself. The Mandé is fading. Its future rests on a single heartbeat — the heartbeat of the Lion.
