In a small Nigerian town, four brothers sneak away to a forbidden river. What they find there will change their lives forever.
When their father leaves for work in a distant city, nine-year-old Benjamin and his older brothers embrace their newfound freedom. But at the river, they encounter a madman who whispers a dark prophecy: the eldest brother will be killed—by one of his own. What begins as a superstition soon takes root, unraveling their once-close bond in ways they never imagined.
Told through Benjamin’s innocent yet haunting perspective, The Fishermen is a Cain and Abel-like tale of destiny, brotherhood, and the weight of belief. A dazzling and unforgettable novel that explores tragedy, redemption, and the mythic power of fate.
