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.

In the vast and mysterious world of Aerothen, where colossal forests conceal ancient secrets and ruins echo the whispers of lost civilizations, a young redhead with curly hair and brown eyes embarks on a journey that will alter the course of his existence—and perhaps the entire continent. Maple, an aspiring bard and runic carver, begins his story with empty hands and a spirit hungry for discovery. Far from a destined hero, he is merely a curious traveler, driven by a desire to grow, survive, and unravel the world’s mysteries. But when living wood chooses him and runes begin to sing beneath his fingers, his fate is sealed with the mark of ancient shapers. Joined by enigmatic allies, facing monsters, riddles, and a world that demands hardship before reward, Maple treads the rare and perilous Harmonic Path—a unique combat style rooted in vibrations, carvings, and mastery of the environment. Each step is a test. Each victory, a scar. Each creation, a mirror of his soul. In a land where power is measured in Stars, and Marks on the body reveal what lies in the heart, Maple seeks not glory—but growth, meaning, and belonging. The farther he travels, the more he realizes that greater forces are awakening… and that the song begun with a simple flute may become the symphony of an era.
