Ezekiel Akpan, once the undisputed mastermind of Nigeria's underworld, thought he had secured his empire. But the ghosts of his past refuse to stay buried. Betrayed, hunted, and forced into the shadows, he must navigate a treacherous landscape where allies turn into enemies, and power is the deadliest currency.

From the dark alleys of Lagos to the power corridors of Rome and the hidden vaults of Zurich, a new global conspiracy threatens to unravel everything Ezekiel has built. The Architects-a secretive cabal more dangerous than the Ghost Syndicate-have emerged from the darkness, determined to erase his legacy and reshape the world in their image.

With the weight of his past sins closing in, Ezekiel must outmaneuver assassins, intelligence agencies, and those he once trusted most. But in this deadly game of shadows, survival is not enough-he must strike first, or risk losing everything.

In this explosive sequel to A Father of Many Nations, Patrick Anselem delivers an intense, high-stakes espionage thriller packed with pulse-pounding action, betrayal, and shocking twists. The question remains-can Ezekiel Akpan outlive the shadows, or will he finally be consumed by them?
