IYALODE EFUNSETAN

In the heart of 19th-century Ibadan, Efunsetan Aniwura, a wealthy and fiercely respected Iyálódẹ, rises to become one of the most powerful women in Yoruba history. Her influence reaches across the marketplace, royal circles, and the political affairs of the city. But behind her wealth and authority lies a woman surrounded by ambition, loyalty, betrayal, tradition, and power. As her authority grows, so does the fear and resentment of those around her. When conflicts begin to threaten her position, Efunsetan must confront enemies within her own circle and forces determined to bring her reign to an end.
