Daniel Thompson, the disgrace of his powerful family. A man branded as a good-for-nothing ex-con, shunned by society, and deemed unworthy of even a passing glance. No sane woman would dare marry him… except for Maria, the forsaken daughter of the Falcone family, who unknowingly walks into an arranged marriage with a man cloaked in shadows. But Maria didn’t just marry a stranger, she married a two-faced maniac. A man with a past so dangerous it could shatter everything. A man whose enemies whisper his name in fear. What happens when the world discovers who Daniel really is? Why did he bury his true identity in the first place? And most chilling of all… what twisted plan does he have for his new bride? Two black sheep. One deadly game. When secrets unravel and sparks ignite, will Maria regret the day she said, “I do”?

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.

A young British child, Frederick, who was adopted by Portuguese sailors finds himself struggling for survival on the shores of West Africa. He soon discovered that the lands he found himself in were troubled by the aura of ancient cosmic darkness, Okunkun, that instilled hate against the indigenes of Africa in other races as their punishment for banishing it from its reign on the world. The remnants of Okunkun’s minions, Egbe Okunkun, commence a plot to bring back their glory days by attacking the Olodumare Festival, an iconic festival celebrated between the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa in honour of their historic victory against Okunkun. Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun. Buoyed by their duty to prevent hate from destroying their land, the deities of Olodumare made it their duty to ensure that people from the outside world had no access to their lands. When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all. Frederick builds a bond with the son of a powerful deity, Ifaromi who was convinced of his innocence and will for good. All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.
