Kayode Akinropo releases second novel, ‘Wilderness of Chaos’

By Isa Isawade

Building on the success of his debut, SCARS DO HEAL, Kayode Akinropo has released another blockbuster, ‘Wilderness of CHAOS‘: A Bold Satirical Thriller.

It’s a story of gripping exploration of survival, identity, and inner conflict.

Akinropo, in Wilderness of Chaos, crafts a tense and unsettling narrative in which order has collapsed, and survival comes at a steep cost.

As the fragile divide between civilization and savagery dissolves, ‘Wilderness of Chaos‘ examines how individuals respond when stripped of comfort, certainty, and control.

Set against a stark and unforgiving backdrop, the novel blends psychological depth with raw human emotion.

Through vivid prose and unflinching honesty, Akinropo explores themes of resilience, power, identity, and the delicate balance between chaos and purpose— challenging readers to consider what remains when everything familiar is lost.

Akinropo says the novel allows him to explore darker, more complex territory.

“Wilderness of Chaos’ is not just about physical survival—it’s about confronting the chaos within us when the world stops making sense,” he explains.

Early readers have praised the novel for its atmospheric storytelling, compelling characters, and relentless pacing, describing it as a bold and confident evolution of the author’s voice.

The book is available now in paperback and ebook formats through Amazon.

Autographed copies can be ordered directly from the author via email ([email protected]), phone (+447735751023), Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and LinkedIn.
