PRICE OF A NAME
Adventure The Price of a Name
In the quiet village of Nkerehi, history lived in the soil, in the songs of the elders, and in the names carved on age old shrine stones. But everything changed the day Obiajulu a wealthy son of the land who bore no royal name returned from abroad with money, power, and a single burning desire:
To erase Nkerehi from existence...
and rename it Umuchukwu.
Backed by his silent uncle, the Igwe, and cheered on by his loyal siblings, Obiajulu showered the community with gifts, cars for the elders, motorcycles and cash for the youths. But what began as generosity quickly turned into oppression. Anyone who refused to accept the new name was beaten, dragged from meetings, and shamed in the village square. The battle deepened when elders were bribed, youth groups turned violent, and the sacred traditions of Nkerehi were mocked, even desecrated.
The blood of history cried out.
But no one listened.
Soon, it wasn't just a fight about names it became war.
Every man who dared answer "Nkerehi" was marked, hunted, and attacked. Entire families were driven from their homes. For two years, the original sons and daughters of Nkerehi lived in exile displaced by wealth, protected only by faith.
But the truth, like roots, runs deep.
When government forces finally stepped in, those exiled returned home. But peace didn't follow them. Even then, the village stood divided: one half still holding tight to Nkerehi, the other swearing allegiance to Umuchukwu. The scars of betrayal remained. The fight wasn't over.
Because a name is not just what you are called...
It is who you are.
And some names refuse to die.
The Price of a Name is a powerful tale of identity, betrayal, and the unbreakable bond between a people and their past. Inspired by true events, it asks the haunting question: what happens when money tries to rewrite memory? The Thornwick Revenge
History The Thornwick Revenge
Some legacies are built on silence. Some truths refuse to stay buried.
Five years after a mysterious fire engulfed the estate of Thornwick Hall, Mira Ellison returns not to grieve, but to expose the truth behind her brother's death. Beneath scorched ruins and sealed cellars lies a legacy of betrayal, hidden letters, and a family name rotted by power.
With the help of Leo Thorne, whose family was ruined by the Thornwicks decades ago, Mira begins to unravel a truth more twisted than she imagined: a stolen identity, a conspiracy buried by the nobility, and a figure whispered about in local legend the Hollow Guest.
Set in the haunted countryside of Velbridge in 1872, The Thornwick Revenge is a gothic historical mystery where revenge is not just personal it's inherited. For every secret revealed, a name is reclaimed. And some fires, once lit, burn until justice is done.
