Best By Hemingway

At six years old, Ola has been alone on the streets of Ikorodu for seven days when a black Land Cruiser pulls up in the rain. Inside is Segun, a scarred man who was sold by his own father for three thousand naira and who now rules the Demon confraternity. Segun feeds him, shelters him, and teaches him one lesson: pain doesn't end, but if it doesn't kill you, it becomes strength. Ola grows up in the shadow of the compound, among its guns, its ledgers, and the cook who sneaks him extra plantain. He becomes the best thing the Demon ever produced: loyal, precise, and quietly feared. But a family built on blood has a price, and when Segun's rule curdles into paranoia, Ola must choose between the man who saved him and the empire that man built. His choice ends one reign and starts another. Ola takes the throne, and the Ash rises. It is bigger, quieter, and more disciplined than anything before it, with politicians at its table and a whole city under its protection. But power keeps asking for more. Rivals gather in Enugu and the creeks, old betrayals surface, and the people Ola loves are drawn into the fire. Two women stand at the centre of it: Eni, who knew the man he was before the crown, and Moji, who sees the man he might become. Both want something he can't give without losing the other.
