Acclaimed Nigerian author, Faith Osemudiamen Ebhodaghe, has delivered her latest novel, “Impunity: When Impunity Becomes the Order of the Day,” a searing and suspense-filled exploration of unchecked power, survival, and justice.
Set against the backdrop of contemporary Nigeria, the novel features Aza Kio Briggs, a 14-year-old boy whose life is shaped by a system where power is wielded without consequence.
From a brutal boarding school to the treacherous world of politics, crime, and secret societies, Aza’s rise to power is as compelling as it is chilling.
But as his sins multiply, fate delivers a reckoning that threatens to unravel everything he has built.
Ebhodaghe’s storytelling ability was influenced by authors like Chimamanda Adichie and Dan Brown.
