GODS DON’T BLEED (BUT I DID)

"You of all people should know this — you can NOT play fair in an UNFAIR world!"



Winter Ogundele was born a princess of Egwura to a weak mother and an absent father who ruled from a distance so cold it burned.

Left to the wolves of the court, she clung to one soul who dared to stand beside her, Zaynah, her best and only friend whom she believed saw her.



Her mother’s death broke something within her. Her father’s silence only poured salt in her wound.

So she searched. For strength and for power all for the reason to be seen, respected but most importantly loved.



She waged wars and won, yet never earned the respect of the court.

One day she returned home triumphant, at the gates, Winter expected cheers. But instead, she was draped in chains and charged with treason.



Branded a traitor and hunted by the very kingdom she bled for, Winter flees into exile with her enemy, only to discover her father’s heart isn’t cruel... it’s cursed and controlled. With whispers of sea-born magic thick in the air, she makes an unthinkable sacrifice to save the only family she has left.



But power always comes with a price.



From her ashes rose not a woman. Not a soldier. But something much, much worse: a god with a score to settle.



This isn’t a story where true love’s kiss saves the day.

This is the story of a girl the world rejected.

So what happens when she stops asking to be loved?

And instead demands to be remembered?
