At 29, Bukki Addis has it all: an award, a career, and the respect of a nation. Fresh off winning a national journalism prize for The Politician's Mistress, she should be celebrating. Instead, her next assignment pulls her back to Karfar, her hometown, where whispers of the ancient AVARI tradition refuse to fade.
Her grandmother, an AVARI legend, holds the answers Bukki seeks. But returning home means more than confronting buried truths. It means facing the boy she once loved, now a man fate seems determined to place in her path.
As Bukki digs deeper, danger shadows her every step. The closer she comes to the truth, the more she realizes: some secrets are not meant to be uncovered.
Because some secrets are best kept... within AVARI.
