Set in Nigeria, this novel follows Chinonso, a young poultry farmer whose life changes after meeting Ndali. Their love faces obstacles due to Ndali's wealthy family and Chinonso's lack of formal education. To overcome this, Chinonso embarks on a journey to Cyprus for studies, only to be deceived and left penniless. The narrative spans continents and cosmic spaces, told by an ancient guardian spirit, offering a contemporary take on Homer's Odyssey.
