Under the Oyo Empire, the Egba people pay their tribute in grain, in labour, and in lives. When the Alaafin's collectors arrive to take what they are owed, there is no recourse and no mercy. Into this world comes Lisabi, an Egba man whose patience runs out before his people do. Based on the true story of Lisabi Agbongbo Akala, the warrior who ended Oyo's grip on the Egba, this is a sweeping Yoruba historical epic about the moment a community decides enough is enough.
