Now known to the world as Queen Cecelia of Telly, she was once Chinwe—a Nigerian-American girl living an ordinary life in an America that was on the verge of breaking.
It began when the world’s youth—ages five to twenty-five—started developing inexplicable powers. Some could control the elements, read minds, or see across time. Others could heal incurable diseases, invent impossible technology, and vanish into thin air. The world split in two: Crepians, powerful and feared; and Repians, gifted and relentlessly hunted.
Governments panicked. Experiments began. Freedom disappeared. No one was safe.
Cecelia never asked for power. She never asked to lead. But when she and Lucas—a fierce, brilliant Crepian who would one day become her king—escaped the government's grasp, they forged something new. Together, they built Telly: a nation for the gifted, born in rebellion, shaped by love, and standing against the world’s fear.
Now, as queen, Cecelia looks back on the journey—the rise, the loss, the power, the betrayal, and the love that changed everything.
This is her story. How a girl became a queen.
How fear became freedom.
And how love survived it all.
