Stone in a Market Place, (Hardcover)

<p>In a marketplace crowded with tradition, pride, and unspoken grudges, one careless stone can destroy an entire lineage.</p><p></p><p>When Chukwudi, a celebrated young wrestler, accidentally kills his rival in a public contest, his village chooses punishment over mercy. Branded a curse upon the land, he is banished into the forest, stripped of home, love, and identity. His father, Papa Paul, once a fearsome warrior and now a man of faith, refuses to appease the gods through rituals he no longer believes in. For his defiance, he and his family are cast into silence, isolation, and eventual ruin.</p><p></p><p>As love defies exile, a forbidden pregnancy ignites panic at the palace, and political vengeance disguises itself as divine will. Loyalties fracture. Friends betray. Power reveals its ugliest face. And a village convinced it is cleansing itself may, in truth, be condemning its own soul.</p><p></p><p>Do Not Throw Stones in a Marketplace; It Might Hit Your Relations is a haunting, emotionally charged novel about unintended consequences, generational pain, and the dangerous ease with which societies justify cruelty. Blending cultural realism with profound moral insight, it is a story of love under siege, faith under fire, and the quiet truth that no act of violence ever lands where we intend it to.</p><p></p><p>Some stones, once thrown, can never be taken back.</p>
