An Underworld Series Chronicle
By Nyah Evergold
“I did not inherit power. I took it. And when the world knelt, I built something worthy of my name.”
In this searing installment of the Sovereigns of the Underworld Series, The Book of Aduka chronicles the ruthless rise of Sawdo, the Dictator King of the Adukan Nation — a military empire forged in fire, fear, and unshakable order. Once a loyal ally of King Arkendemus, Sawdo’s bitter disillusionment with the Republic Council and its decision to embrace the cursed Oceanus tribe ignites a calculated rebellion.
What begins as a political rupture becomes a catastrophic overhaul of the Underworld itself. With the help of surface world allies and secret betrayals from within, Sawdo brings about the fall of the Golden Kingdom and declares himself sole ruler of the Republic. But power is not enough — Sawdo craves legacy. Facing a divine curse of infertility and the silent decay of his marriage to Queen Lenora, he launches the Goddess Experiment — a brutal reconditioning program that transforms sacred Glendorian bloodlines into controlled vessels of empire.
Told through the voices of Sawdo, Queen Lenora, the ambitious Lady Eleanor, and the stolen vessel Safire, The Book of Aduka is a dark, poetic, and unflinching portrait of tyranny masked as destiny. It is the blueprint of a nation built on obedience, where fire is both law and god — and where even the divine must kneel.
