In the prestigious Blackthorn royal court, in Ile-Oluji kingdom, King Samuel presided with benevolence, garnering the affection and devotion of his subjects.

 However, the Queen Dowager, a figure of influence and authority, persistently implored the king to secure a royal heir through marriage. Despite the pressure, Samuel remained unwed, choosing to prioritize his duties as a ruler over his personal desires.

Fate intervened when the King crossed paths with Anifat, a maid in service to the Queen Dowager. 

Their chance encounter blossomed into a clandestine affair, shrouded in secrecy and fueled by forbidden passion. But the repercussions of their actions soon became evident as Anifat found herself with child, a consequence that threatened to unravel the delicate fabric of the royal court.

Fearing the scandal that could befall the kingdom, King Samuel pleaded with Anifat to terminate the pregnancy. Yet, she stood firm in her conviction to bear the child, a choice that left Samuel grappling with the weight of responsibility. 

To preserve his reputation and maintain order, he made the difficult decision to marry Anifat, an unexpected turn of events that left the kingdom abuzz with speculation.

As their lives became intertwined, Queen Anifat concealed a secret from Samuel - she was a Muslim, a fact she hidden to avoid discrimination and maintained her position. 

When Samuel discovered this, he demanded a divorce, threatening to exile Anifat if she didn't comply. She agreed, heartbroken but determined to keep her unborn child and eventually got exiled from the kingdom.

King Samuel's story arc took a new turn when he found solace in the companionship named Olamiposi, a successful businesswoman whose fortitude and intelligence captured his heart. 

Their union bore fruit in the form of a beloved daughter, Moana, a symbol of their love and hopes for the future.

Despite the joyous occasion, a cloud of uncertainty loomed as a wise seer foretold a prophecy with grave implications. 

The prophecy foretold that Moana's romantic entanglements would be fraught with peril, a love that could bring chaos and conflict to the very foundation of the kingdom, destiny can never be changed, the prophet added.

As Moana blossomed into a graceful and poised young woman, her life intertwined with that of a gentleman whose affections ran deep. Their love, while genuine and profound, stood at odds with the societal norms and expectations that bound Moana to her duty as a member of the royal family.

The delicate balance of duty and desire became a central theme as Moana found herself torn between her obligations to the crown and her yearning for forbidden love.

 With every choice, Moana was confronted with the consequences of her actions and their far-reaching impact on the kingdom.

Her Father, too, faced the weight of his past choices which he exiled Anifat out of the kingdom, the secrets he had kept to preserve his reign now threatening to unravel the stability of the kingdom he held so dear. 

The tale unfurled as forbidden love of King Samuel’s daughter collided with duty and tradition, the fate of Blackthorn hanging in the balance, and power in this captivating tale of love, deception, and betrayal.


What did you think that makes Moana’s gentleman worth their love forbidden?
