Afonja – The Rise

Afonja- The Rise is the story of how the clashes of these two men and the intrigue of the others around them transformed what was a slow decline into a race of the empire towards its collapse. In Afonja- The Rise, we tell their stories first as what they were- men and women living their lives, warring, scheming and loving in ways that will be familiar to the reader- beyond their roles as actors in the epic history of the great Oyo Empire.
