"They say love is worth dying for. But in his world, love costs more than life itself. And I was the last bride to survive him. I am Kuhlekonke Khumalo-Ndaba."

"Ulokhu uwaphenqile la mehlo akho kanti ang'dlali ngawe. Ngiyazi iy'nswelaboya sezashela ngomendo, zidlala ngawe. Kepha mina ntokazi angik'khohlisi. Inhliziyo yami usuy'phendule eyakho kodwa ang'khalazi ngoba ngiyazi isezandleni ey'phephile. Ngiyazi uzongang'kholwa mengithi ngiyaqala uk'zizwa ngalendlela ngomuntu eng'qalayo ukumbona kodwa kuyobe kuyiqiniso elimsulwa. Uma kuyidliso leli, ul'faka kancane, nyusa is'kali mama. Ngithathekile ngawe, sala usuk'thatha konke, Mnininhliziyo. Thatha nalu uthando lwami, ngikunika lonke unreservedly. Thatha isandla sami, sigxume, sizicwilise othandweni. Thatha ngisho nazi iy'ndlebe zami, ngizwe ngawe. Whatever you want, MaNdwandwe, as long as you'll have me," he said. Siminaye Nxumalo has sworn off men - well, at least love from men. Still healing from a relationship that nearly broke her, she finds herself unexpectedly pursued by Qophelo Dlomo - a forward, confident Zulu man with marriage on his mind from the very first encounter. When Qophelo proposes marriage, foregoing courtship and even dating, will Naye allow the walls she's built to protect herself be wrecked or will fear of the unknown conquer?

Nyezi Bhengu has built her career and life around being a wife. For years, her identity was tethered to her husband - as the "Real Housewife of Durban", "umfazi kaBafo", and "uNyezi kaSmiso". His sudden death upends Nyezi's life when, bound by isiko lokungenwa, she is forced to marry his older brother, Mnisi. Mnisiwokuhle Bhengu has a personality very few would describe as "lighting up a room". Reserved, and perpetually serious to the point of appearing cold, where Smiso was the life of the party, Mnisi is the brooding figure who leaves just as the fun begins. He wears detachment like armour, keeping himself unapproachable and at a distance from everyone - especially Nyezi. Forced into a union they're both less than glad to find themselves in, will forced proximity be enough to break down the walls Mnisi has so carefully constructed, or will tradition condemn them into a loveless arrangement they cannot escape?

While she is aware of his commitment to another woman, she enjoys the attention and power she holds over him. The man finds himself increasingly drawn to her, captivated by the excitement and fantasy she represents, creating a dangerous, yet thrilling dynamic between them.

"It was always you."

Princess Alenna and Prince Jo'omaya aren't meant to be, but try telling their stubborn hearts that.

As tension rises as a result of all the heavy rules and traditions placed on both their shoulders through their royal bloodlines, will they sacrifice their love for the greater good of their kingdoms, or will they succumb to their feelings and bring destruction upon the otherwise peaceful tribes of Mma Munda?
