Tomilola Coco Adeyemo is back with a new book, and it takes us into a fantasy world where she explores Yoruba spirituality, reincarnation, and the lengths to which human beings will go for power.
Queen of the Fields tells the story of a 251-year-old man desperate to return to the past. To do this, he must spill the blood of a 21-year-old virginal reincarnated orisa.
Bestselling romance author Tomilola Coco Adeyemo writes the upcoming dark romance ‘Queen of the Fields’, and it tells the story of Ajagbo, a 19th century Prince who is betrayed by the two people he trusts the most and banished into the future. Now he seeks vengeance through the blood of a reincarnated Orisa, Tundun, who he must protect until her blood is ripe enough for his age-long ritual.
For over a century, he has waited patiently for the Orisa, whose blood will take him back on one last journey for vengeance. He’s prepared for everything except the unfamiliar need to protect and an unusual fondness that he feels when the final ingredient in his ritual comes along. She’s a frail little thing that life has dealt with, and now he finds himself protecting her and even falling for her. Then worse happens when the past repeats itself. Except for this time, the consequences are quite dire.

A multiple Okadabooks and Bambooks bestselling author, Tomliolola’s ‘Rich kids of Lagos series’ has gathered her a cult following in the Nigerian literary space. ‘Queen of the Fields’ is the first of two books in the Fated Duet and is slated for a December release.
