Feyi Aina writes romance across time and setting, from the courts of Yoruba kingdoms to contemporary Lagos apartments, but the tension at the center of her stories is always the same: two people who want each other and a world that has other ideas. Her catalog on Sọna spans historical romance, contemporary romance, and faith-based fiction, and she is one of the few authors on the platform who writes convincingly in all three.
