Chapter 1 - Prologue

Whispers of Love ___ A girl's journey through loss, love and belonging.

After losing her parents in a fatal accident, Amina is separated from her siblings and sent to Lagos to live with her father's best friend. Timid and soft-spoken, she quickly realizes that love in her new home is conditional, and every smile hides a storm. Derin, her classmate and Mr. Badmus's daughter, sees her as a rival for affection. Kunle, their cold and unpredictable older brother, oscillates between disdain and a kind of rough protectiveness that confuses Amina more than it comforts her.

At school, Amina finds her twin brother Abiola, now living with their uncle in a much warmer household. His kindness and encouragement help her face her daily challenges. Through him, she meets friends who welcome her, including one who might just see more in her than friendship. Meanwhile, Idris the mysterious, wealthy boy everyone talks about is slowly drawn to Amina's quiet strength, despite Derin's bitter jealousy.

In a city that never stops moving, Amina must learn to find her voice, protect her heart, and embrace the unexpected forms that love takes—through blood, through pain, and sometimes, through the boy who sees you when no one else does.

Whispers of Lagos is a heartfelt coming-of-age story filled with rivalry, secrets, longing, and the unbreakable hope of a girl discovering who she truly is.
