Zenayah Joolia Bartel, also known as A.Z Bartel, an award-winning author, was at the peak of her career. Her signature horror novel continued to receive international and local acclaim, and she was willing to do anything to stay in the spotlight.
But even the brightest stars eventually lose their shine. That's exactly what happened to Zenayah when an unknown man suddenly entered the literary scene. A.Z.F---his initials in his book, an arrogant yet undeniably talented author, skyrocketed to fame with his debut romance novel. Almost overnight, Zenayah's fans disappeared, and romance became the reigning genre, leaving her horror novel in the shadows.
How could she reclaim her fame when all she knew was how to write horror? Her writing had always been rooted in personal experience-everything she penned, she had lived. But how could she write about love when she had long abandoned it, ever since she discovered her eerie ability to see the dead?
