When innocent blood stains the ground, it does not dry. It cries.
Chief Douglas Gabure had it all — until the government took it all away. His wife died because he couldn't afford surgery abroad. His only son Moses was shot dead by police during a student protest — one of 215 students murdered in one day.
With nothing left but pain, he wears placards and begins a one-man protest in the heart of the city.
In 30 minutes, hundreds join him. By midday, the whole Kingdom of Alorojiya is on fire.
President Odireta's response is simple: "Let blood flow if necessary."
He orders the army to crush them. General Tokiz refuses and is sacked. 117 protesters are shot dead. 413 are injured.
But the blood is just the beginning.
From the Dynasty Market — a hidden underground kingdom where presidents eat human flesh, drink blood, and sleep with marine spirits to win elections... to the High Dark Thrones — where three beasts rule over an ocean of blood... to the beaches where politicians bow to Queen Daliah Kabul for bulletproof charms...
This is the story of how a kingdom was sold to devils.
And how one Black American prince, Foray Maxwell, who returned from America to liberate his people, discovered that you cannot win an election in Alorojiya without first winning a war in the spirit realm.
RED TEARS is a prophetic Christian political thriller about corruption, ritual power, and the day the people said: Enough is enough.
Every drop of innocent blood cries out from the ground.

Praise
“This Book Should Be Banned in Aso Rock"- ""The Animal Farm of Our Time""George Orwell wrote Animal Farm for Russia. John B. Beloved has written RED TEARS for Africa. The scene where politicians sing 'We are the pillars of power, black sharks ruling the kingdom' should be hung in every National Assembly. The Dynasty Market is the most accurate description of African power I have ever read."”
Madam Elizabeth Yomi, Lagos Nigeria “They call them 'Black Vultures' in this book. In real life, we call them 'Your Excellency.' This book is fiction, but it is not false.”
Author's Note “They do not come to buy tomatoes. They come to buy thrones. They come with pots of fire. With virgin girls. With Ghana-Must-Go bags filled with Ajiya dollars. They come to eat flesh baked like suya and drink blood served like Chapman.”
