Ayanwale, a reluctant scion of a legendary Yoruba drummer lineage, has always rejected the ancestral rhythms that pulse through his blood. Haunted by the shadow of his uncle Baba Oro—whose greed for the forbidden Ninth Rhythm led to his downfall—Ayanwale lives a quiet life, disconnected from his heritage. But when a mysterious ancient book surfaces and a haunting dream pulls him toward a sacred, lost artifact known as the Royalty Drum, everything changes. Drawn into a secret world where music holds cosmic power and ancestral laws govern reality, Ayanwale must awaken the rhythms within himself to protect the legacy of his bloodline. Along the way, he confronts malevolent spirits, unearths family betrayals, and navigates a spiritual war between creation and destruction. In The Royalty Drum, Yoruba mythology comes alive through vivid, rhythm-infused storytelling that explores the weight of heritage, the power of sound, and the courage it takes to face the past—and drum a new future.
