Where The Stars Kept Us

In the forgotten heart of Lagos, hidden behind creeping vines and forgotten alleyways, stands Ọ̀rọ̀ Books — a bookstore untouched by time. Anike Ayoola, a quiet editor with a haunting past, finds herself drawn to this place every Wednesday during a mysterious rainfall.

There, she meets Obiora Korede — a man whose eyes carry centuries and whose smile makes her heart remember things her mind cannot. Each week, they fall in love again. Each week, the world resets.



But this is no ordinary love story.



Bound by an ancient curse woven into the fabric of time, Anike and Obiora are star-bound souls destined to find each other across realities. In a world where portals hide behind poetry shelves, and time bends to the will of memory, their love may be the only force strong enough to rewrite fate.



As Anike uncovers her true identity as the lost daughter of the Royal House of Atunda, and Obiora confronts his role as a cursed Time Guardian, they must fight against a celestial rebellion, old betrayals, and the shadows that want them apart.



Where the Stars Kept Us is a sweeping Afro-fantasy romance filled with magic, mystery, power, royalty — and a love that refuses to be forgotten.
