The prodigal Prince of Presco

DAVINTO
In the vibrant heart of Abakaliki, young Emeka "Emmy Don" Agu shines as a brilliant student at Urban Secondary School, admired by his peers and tipped for a bright future. However, his burgeoning affections for the captivating Chidinma Okafor are complicated by her preference for his charismatic best friend, Kelechi, igniting a subtle rivalry between the once-inseparable boys. As Emmy navigates the turbulent waters of first love and teenage friendships, his academic prowess leads him to the position of Senior Prefect (SP), a taste of power and influence that subtly begins to shape him. Fate leads him to Ebonyi State University's Presco campus to study Medicine, a path seemingly destined for success. However, the allure of a different kind of power soon takes hold. Drawn by the camaraderie and perceived invincibility of the "Viper" cult, a notorious and dangerous group on campus, Emmy succumbs to their promises. His intelligence and ruthlessness propel him through their ranks, earning him the feared moniker "The Viper Prince," the undisputed king of destruction within the university's clandestine underworld. He becomes entangled in violent rivalries and perilous exploits, a far cry from the promising student he once was. Years pass, marked by both exhilarating highs and devastating lows within the cult. Haunted by the violence and loss he has witnessed and inflicted, including the tragic consequences for some of his closest friends and loved ones, Emmy experiences a profound change of heart. He yearns to break free from the Viper's deadly grip, a decision met with fierce resistance and supernatural obstacles, for the cult's influence extends beyond the physical realm. His journey towards redemption is fraught with peril, forcing him to confront the darkness he once embraced. Stripped bare of his former power and facing relentless enemies, Emmy embarks on a spiritual battle for his soul. Against all odds, he eventually succeeds in extricating himself from the cult's clutches. The Prodigal Prince of Presco then dedicates his life to a new path, becoming a preacher of the most high God, using his past experiences as a testament to the transformative power of faith and a warning against the seductive allure of darkness that once claimed him. His story becomes a powerful narrative of fall and grace, set against the backdrop of Abakaliki's familiar streets and the intense microcosm of university life.

Blood & Vapor: A Song of the West [A Steampunk Western]

Wasters. The word spreads like wildfire across the frontier—whispered in saloons, cursed in cathedrals. Born of rogue science and stitched metal, they’re outlaws in the eyes of the Church and monsters in the eyes of the world. Levi Wilson didn’t choose this life. Once a streetwise mercenary, he was captured, experimented on, and turned into something he doesn’t understand. Augmented with prototype Vaporguard tech and left with scars he can’t outrun, Levi escapes into a land already teetering on the edge—where the Church tightens its grip, bounty hunters chase Wasters for coin, and the Old World’s empire watches the New with hungry eyes. Now hunted and alone, Levi must learn to survive—not just the bounty hunters and Inquisition on his trail, but the growing power inside him. What begins as a fight to stay alive will drag him into something far greater: a war for the soul of the frontier, and maybe the world beyond it. **WHAT TO EXPECT** • Guns are outlawed—blades, fists, and augments rule the frontier • Alternate timeline where the Church controls global tech and power • Steam-powered war machines and brutal Inquisitors • Grounded, gritty combat with realistic consequences • Deep worldbuilding with political, cultural, and religious conflict • Third-person limited POV with strong character focus • No chosen ones, no prophecy—just survival • Slow-burn mystery and high-stakes tension • No harem • Earthsong magic with real costs, not flashy spells • Bounty hunters, Templar Knights, orphans, war criminals, and broken survivors
