Àkọ́bí #4325

Àkọ́bí (Yoruba: // “the first to be born”//) is a fantasy semi-autobiographical origin story of the initial character, Akobi, a moniker traditionally bestowed upon the first-born child according to ancient Yoruba custom. These same customs are rooted in a culture of honor, respect, duty, and valor; and as the first born, Akobi’s constant struggles between a desire to uphold these virtues and the heavy burden of this calling set the tone for the first phase of this epic tale.
