Description
Little does Segilola know what is in store for her, when, against her parents’ wishes, she goes to a river that is forbidden to her, and what she experiences there will have an impact not only on her life but also on her family’s lives.
Segilola has always been curious about Odo-Oro, fascinated by the stories she has heard about the river, the biggest in Iperi-Ake, where she lives – by the mysteries surrounding it, and more importantly about the fact that it is forbidden.
It is not surprising because Segilola is not only known for her stubbornness, wilfulness and disobedience, but she is also inquisitive, daring and bold.
One day Segilola goes to Odo-Oro, not expecting the therapeutic effects the river will have on her – the peaceful and beautiful surroundings and the lovely and clear water. She starts to doze off, and before she realizes what is happening, she has fallen into a deep sleep, and her departure from the river is at risk. When she wakes up strange things start to happen leading to the most extraordinary and harrowing experience of her life. Will she be able to escape the fate of others before her in the same situation?
