Hell In Lagos with Love
Contemporary Fantasy Romance
"Their souls are all I need, even if their hearts remain elusive," she says as she surveys the bustling crowd of Desire's Haven, a jewel in the heart of Lagos.
Ibiere, the Mami Wata, emerges from the depths of the sea, her eyes set on the pulsating life of Lagos. She's not just a mythical figure stepping onto land; she's a force unto herself, armed with a charm that's as irresistible as it is dangerous. Her establishment, “Desire’s Haven,” becomes a crucible where human aspirations and the ethereal touch. It's here, in this lavishly decadent nightclub nestled in the heart of Victoria Island, that Ibiere weaves her web, trading dreams for souls, ambition for allegiance.
Kunle's entrance into Ibiere's world marks the beginning of an intricate dance of fate and desire. A skeptic at heart, Kunle seeks tangible success and the semblance of love to satisfy societal expectations. His disbelief in the supernatural stands in stark contrast to the very foundation of Ibiere's existence. Yet, it's this disbelief that makes their connection all the more compelling. When he steps into “Desire’s Haven,” seeking fame and a partner to appease his family, he unknowingly embarks on a journey that will unravel his understanding of reality and love.
The contract between Ibiere and Kunle is more than a mere transaction; it's a dance of destinies. Ibiere, with motives layered like the ocean's depths, sees in Kunle an opportunity. His soul, yes, but more intriguing is his potential eternal bond with the spirit realm (which he has no idea about). For Ibiere, securing a place among the elite of Nigeria's paranormal entities is a step towards redefining the power dynamics in a world that has long been dominated by male entities. Her ambition is as vast as the ocean she hails from, seeking not only to disrupt the status quo but to establish a new order where her influence is undeniable.
