The Holy Verses of Love is not just a romance series — it’s a literary uprising, a sweeping multi-volume epic that explores love in its most forbidden, transcendent, and transformative forms.
Spanning faith and politics, borders and bloodlines, this bold collection dares to ask what happens when desire defies the rules of race, religion, culture, or country. From Muslim-Christian unions to Black-Asian intimacy, queer awakenings to cross-continental devotion, each novel pulses with risk, heat, and unapologetic truth.
Fiction
Some love stories don’t ask for permission. They demand to be remembered.
Teen love. Tribal tensions. A blood pact under a tree.
This isn’t your average love story, and that’s exactly the point.

Volume One: Blood Pact
Volume One: Blood Pact
When a 19-year-old boy falls in love with Magam, his landlord’s daughter, with eyes like thunder and secrets like ledgers, the world gives them every reason not to be. Too poor. Too tribal. Too young. So they don’t ask for the world’s blessing. They take it.
They sanctify their love in blood beneath a tree that remembers everything.
Blood Pact is for anyone who ever fell in love when it wasn’t safe to.
For those who remember what it was like to love silently. Fiercely. Desperately.
This is not a fairytale. It’s a resurrection.

A Word from
Dr. Manfred Ayuk
“Holy Verses of Love is a series I wrote to tell tales that are unheard. It contains the unseen. The ones who risked everything for love, even if history erased their names. I wrote it because silence has teeth, but stories have power. And this one is yours as much as it is mine.”

The Holy Verses of Africa’s Development
The Holy Verses of Africa’s Development is a compelling manifesto that challenges global economic narratives and calls for a radical rethinking of Africa’s wealth and development trajectory. It exposes the mechanisms of neo-colonial exploitation and flawed financial metrics that mask Africa’s true value, advocating instead for a bold, African-led framework that transforms untapped natural resources into instruments of sustainable development and financial sovereignty. Grounded in the Ayuketang Framework and powered by institutions like the African Central Bank and Investment Fund, this book is a rousing call for Africa to rise on its own terms and claim its rightful place as a global leader.
