A sweeping and emotionally powerful novel set against the brutal backdrop of the Biafran War in Nigeria. When the conflict separates brothers Kunle and Tunde, Kunle’s search for his sibling becomes an arduous journey of atonement and courage. Consumed by the war he barely understands, he is conscripted into the army where he forges lifelong friendships and finds love. This is an odyssey that masterfully intertwines myth and realism, capturing a young man's quest for redemption in a nation engulfed in fire.
