About this audiobook
When Kojo the Thirteenth is crowned, the people cheer a humble, intelligent ruler who speaks of roads, grain reserves, and shared prosperity. But ambition soon twists into something darker. Renaming taxes as "Royal Partnerships," Kojo begins skimming the kingdom's lifeblood from market vendors and artisans to the royal defence budget and Shell Police.As levies mount, gold vanishes, diamonds disappear, and bandits thrive in the vacuum of a hollowed out state. The Shell Exchange crashes. A southern army marches unopposed. While the king counts his growing personal reserve, a quiet resistance forms: the sharp eyed Princess Ama, the meticulous ledger keeper Sefu, the watchful Jabari, the prophetic Nuru, and the culturally brilliant Adaeze.From coronation pageantry to market outrage, from glittering heists to a dramatic reckoning, The King Who Wanted Everything is a sweeping, satirical political fantasy about power, greed, and the quiet strength of a kingdom that refuses to stay broken.
