Folashade has always lived wrapped in comfort - the only daughter of a respected man, the pride of her family. But now that she's "of age," marriage is suddenly the only thing anyone in her house wants to talk about. Every week, another bachelor sits in their living room, smiling like he already owns her future. She's not ready... but nobody seems to care. Then everything snaps. One night, her father gathers the entire family and confesses a secret he has kept hidden for years - a secret so dangerous it drags them straight into the path of death itself. A secret that explains the strange tension in the house... the sudden change in his behavior... and the reason he has been desperately trying to secure Folashade's marriage. Now she knows the truth - and she instantly wishes she didn't. She can't tell her friends. She can't ask for help. She can't even trust the people around her, because anyone who knows could be the person that destroys them. With a ticking deadline hanging over her head and enemies closing in from places she never expected, Folashade must find a way out before everything collapses. Her freedom, her sanity, her family's survival - everything is on the line. Will she save them in time... or will the price she has to pay be something far worse than marriage?
