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.
Rooted in African mysticism, diasporic memory, and global power struggles, it blurs the sacred and the secular, the cosmic and the carnal. With nearly 100 novels planned, The Holy Verses of Love is a radical archive of romance, where every lover is both heretic and hymn, and every verse is a vow against erasure.

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 Renaissance of Africa’s Economy
At last, Africa holds the keys to her own liberation and independence. No more plundering of her minerals under polite diplomatic lies. No more shackles disguised as “development loans” from the World Bank or IMF. No more trading one master for another — whether draped in Western suits or Eastern uniforms.
This time, the continent stands armed with a blueprint — a real action plan, a living roadmap forged from years of relentless research and unflinching truth-telling. It is a solution that feels divinely inspired… and yes, it may demand a price in blood before its promise is fulfilled.
The question is no longer if Africa will rise — but how far she’s willing to go.
