A stolen myth. A deadly heist. A fight for freedom.

Trapped in domestic servitude in 1971 Lagos, ten-year-old Chidinma discovers her cruel mistress harbors a dark secret: the stolen mat of a Bush Baby—a supernatural creature whose wealth-granting relic brings unimaginable riches, but demands a terrifying blood price.

When Chidinma steals the mat and flees into the coal forests of Enugu, she triggers a deadly chase. Hunted by her vengeful mistress and pursued by supernatural forces, Chidinma must cross hostile territory to reach home.

To rebuild her family's compound and claim her future, one girl must outwit ancient horrors, military officers, and greedy clan elders who want the mat for themselves.

Mat Of The Bush Baby is an explosive dark fantasy heist about trauma, ancient African lore, and unyielding resilience in post-war Nigeria.
