When a teenage orphan girl, Iyanu, unknowingly triggers her Divine Powers, she escapes Elu, the last standing city in the known world, and embarks on a journey to discover the truth about the evil lurking in the realm of Yorubaland.
Fleeing the evil Chancellor Nuro, Iyanu meets the Corrupt Divine Beast Ekun and a mysterious boy named Biyi. As she uncovers her extraordinary powers, she also explores hidden treasures beyond the Walls of Elu.
Kanfo, the leader of the Eso Warriors of Elu, brings his inquisitive son Toye along on the hunt for Iyanu; she encounters Mama Sewa, the astute matriarch of the Riverlands Settlement who has secret knowledge of Iyanu's past and powers.
As the Workers' District faces extreme strain and Elu's political climate worsens, Iyanu intensifies her training with Mama Sewa while two formidable military forces converge on the Riverlands Settlement to capture her.
Iyanu, Biyi and Sewa face the corrupt divine beast Ekun and the vicious people of the deep; in Elu, workers' district citizens demand justice from Oba Adeyinka and chancellor Nuro's oppressive regime.
With the Riverlands Settlement in ruins, Iyanu, Biyi, Toye and Ekun must cross the perilous Rinku Plains to find the source -- the key to Iyanu's powers and lifting the curse from Yorubaland -- while adjusting as a new team.
Elu descends into civil war as Biyi, Oba Adeyinka and Kanfo tell personal stories of past heartbreak; Iyanu, Toye, Ekun and Biyi struggle to reach The Source, while Olori continues her search for Iyanu.
Iyanu, Biyi, Toye and Ekun reach The Source Mountain and meet the Guardians; Iyanu must pass the three trials to prove she's the Chosen; Chancellor Nuro, possessed by the Fallen One, tracks them across the Rinku Plains to stop her.
As Cursed animals besiege Elu, Iyanu searches for The Source. Meanwhile, Biyi, Toye, Olori and Kanfo launch a counterattack against Chancellor Nuro and his forces, who are trying to prevent Iyanu from lifting the Curse on Yorubaland.
