Sold Kin

Sold Kin is the first struggling epopee coming from the creativity of this Ibeku Man born in the southern part of Nigeria. This is a story of a group of men and women who try to redeem themselves from an unfair system of exploitation, where human beings were treated less than objects during the Atlantic slave trade. It is also the story of courageous women who overcome stereotypes: the white woman who rebels against the system that her father feeds, and the native protagonist, Adanna, who emerges proudly above her male peers, as if to announce the necessary decline of an anachronistic system and hope for gender equality. She is a leader who fights for her people and reveals a soul beneath her warrior and combative soul, just as so sweet and maternal when she takes care of a young boy left alone. Characters belonging to a universe and a system of values far from Western patterns appear in this fresco of an unwritten story, but narrated through tradition, where witchcraft, magic and the use of occult powers base their cosmology. It is impossible not to connect with the Herbalist, a man dedicated to his people, gifted.

Description

Historical Fiction | Africa | Cultural Awakening

What if the chains of slavery were not only forged abroad but also at home?

In Sold Kin, Shine Enyinnaya Nwosu delivers a bold, unflinching reimagining of the Atlantic slave trade not from the shorelines of Europe, but from deep within the African hinterland. Set in pre-colonial Igbo society, this historical fiction novel confronts a painful, often overlooked truth: that Africans, too, played a role in the betrayal and sale of their own kin.

Told through richly drawn characters, cultural landscapes, and haunting moral dilemmas, Sold Kin is not just a story about the past it is a mirror to the present. As Nigeria and many African nations grapple with poverty, corruption, and blame, this novel dares to ask: What if true liberation begins with responsibility?

In a world where history is often weaponized to justify failure, Sold Kin challenges the Black community to reclaim power not through denial, but through accountability. It is both a literary work and a manifesto for a new cultural mindset one where change begins from within.

Powerful. Provocative. Necessary.
Sold Kin is a story that must be told—and a truth that must be faced.
