Indigo: The Beginning
Not yet published
Expected 26 May 26Some promises are forbidden. Some are forgotten. But the greatest ones refuse to die.
As a boy in a small village, Umendiego vowed to become a doctor and return to make Chiagozie his wife. But dreams are fragile, so he is forced to grow into a man feared and hated by many, a king forged from chaos, and a survivor shaped by greed and ruthlessness.
By the time he comes back for her, Chiagozie is no longer the girl who once believed in fairy tales. She is a woman suffocating in a marriage built on fear, silence and endurance.
When fate reunites them, the spark reignites into a forbidden inferno. But loving her could cost him everything. Yet, walking away could cost him his soul.
As corruption threatens Nigeria’s future and the darkest men fight for the nation’s crown, Umendiego must decide how far he will go to protect the power he has bled for. And Chiagozie must make the most radical choice a woman like her can to live, and to love, on her own terms.
From first love to last chances, Indigo is a sweeping story of ambition, sacrifice, and a romance powerful enough to defy a society determined to crush it.
Some hearts break. Others burn. But the fiercest ones fight until the.

Rosemary Okafor reaches deep into herself in crafting the Indigo duology. Having recently read The Joys of Motherhood by Buchi Emecheta, a work written decades earlier, I was struck by how closely this story mirrors that same emotional terrain—proof that time has passed, yet so much remains unchanged.
The narrative unflinchingly explores the burdens women bear to uphold their husbands’ crowns, even when the cost is their own thinning edges, their silence, their sacrifice. Indigo himself strays into waters far beyond his depth, discovering that reverence and status do not guarantee control, wisdom, or absolution.
At its core, this duology is a richly layered examination of marriage, motherhood, and a love that persists despite betrayal, pride, and unmet expectations. Chinelo’s chapters, in particular, offer a unique POV—I found myself cheering that her “side hustle” failed, allowing her to redirect her energy toward something far more meaningful.
This is a deeply immersive read—one that will make you laugh, simmer with anger, and smile in recognition. I highly recommend the Indigo duology to readers who enjoy emotionally honest storytelling and complex family dynamics. Hold tight. The journey is worth it, and yes—it promises a satisfying, hard-earned ending.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Rosemary Okafor has done it again.
Indigo unlike her previous books sucks you in gradually until you are hooked. Her ability to describe people, events, places and activities has a way of giving a picture that won't leave your mind easily.
A good blend of culture and modernity.
The easy jostle between two worlds written seamlessly to give a lasting impression is a trademark that is linked to Rosemary.
Rosemary has a creative way of making her characters sweethearts and also always giving us the ones to want to beat.
Can't wait to get my hands on a hard copy
