About Rebellion: Ground Zero by T.J. Martins

Detan Tijani is Africa’s golden boy. After an unprecedented three-year streak of being the bestselling novelist in the world and amassing colossal wealth, he returns home to Nigeria with a crucial presidential election looming. When he’s put on the stand in an interview, he criticizes the powers-that-be and unknowingly sets into motion a devastating chain reaction that upends his peaceful life.

Tiolu Adekeye is a beautiful anomaly. Born into the upper echelon of society, her aberrant persona has her leaving her life of comfort behind, in a self-searching quest to help the less privileged. As a physiotherapist, she’s burdened with the need to make true impact and not be an inconsequential cog in an ineffective machine. However, she’s in for the shock of her life, when she realizes that shuffling between her vastly different worlds is no small feat and it comes with an unbearable toll on her psyche. 

With Detan’s newly-minted status as a socialite in the country, he inextricably crosses path with Tiolu, who proves to be an exhilarating guide into this brave new world of ostentatious intrigue and drama. And as the elections draw close, Detan finds himself at a crossroads of becoming a sellout or staying true to his beliefs, at the cost of endangering his own life and the lives of everyone he cares about.
