In Chains of the Crosier

About the Book

Uchenna Achebe was born out of wedlock into the cold arms of poverty. He grew up in the abandoned forest of Amigbo. His life testified to the reality of the changing nature of human fortunes as Uchenna later became one of the strongest pillars of his society.

Serving as a parish priest at one of the parishes in Offornaogu, he encountered ‘the light’ and ‘the dark’. In a bid to unravel the mystery surrounding the prophecies of the gods, he found himself in a dilemma; to choose between ‘the quest’ and ‘the desire’

‘The desire’, having occupied the innermost part of his thought, became his undoing and the forces of ‘the dark’ which he set to destroy turned him into an unwilling tool against ‘the light’.

An illegitimate child deemed unworthy of the gods might be his only hope if the prophecies of the gods had anything to go by. The stage was set for a showdown; only the gods could foresee the chains hidden in ‘the desire’ of the crosier.
