Alexander Emmanuel’s Edge of the Sun is coming this April

We’re super thrilled to announce that we’re set to release Alexander Emmanuel Ochogwu’s fifth novel, Edge of the Sun.

This coming-of-age novel is set in Bodo (a town in South Southern Nigeria), along the bank of the Obunda River, and follows the lives of Jaja and Sim, two juvenile and over-exuberant youths, and their search for redemption.
