Ifedike’s world shatters when a wicked trafficker kidnaps him and his brother, killing their mother in broad daylight. Haunted by loss and forced into a life of servitude under a new name, Ifedike battles hunger, brutality, and despair—but his longing for family and justice burns brighter than his pain. With every bead he carves and every prayer he whispers, Ifedike clings to hope, determined to reclaim his stolen life before it’s too late.
Ifeoma’s secret crush on Seyi ended in public disgrace and heartbreak, but that pain was only the beginning. When tragedy snatches both her parents and poverty forces her to abandon her dreams, she’s left with nothing but memories and shame. Eight years later, hunted by Seyi’s mocking ghost and desperate for peace, she returns home—only to face a final choice between life, death, and the hope that someone, at last, will call her back from the edge.
