Eki is a strong, hardworking young woman who has sworn off men after being hurt too many times, including by her own father. Raised in the small, cursed village of Ikoka, she's vowed never to marry and believes that the world would be better without men. But everything changes when she meets Oduwa, the son of the village hunter.
Oduwa, who has always been a part of her past, has returned after years of being away. Eki's childhood friend, who once captured her heart, now stands before her as a man with a purpose-to win her back. But the road to her heart is not easy. With their past unresolved and Eki's hatred for men still strong, will Oduwa's persistence be enough to break through her walls? Or will she push him away once and for all?
This is a tale of love, regret, and second chances. A story of a woman who must face her past in order to open her heart to the possibility of a future she never thought she wanted.
Will Eki fall for Oduwa, or will she break him in the process? Let's find out.

Burning Blue
𝓐𝓼𝓶𝓪 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the model daughter of Abdulrahman and Alma Murad. She's elegant, composed and carefully shaped to meet her parent's expectations. Every decision - her career, her friends, even her fiancé has been curated to preserve the perfect image. Asma lives to please and has never failed to do so. 𝓐𝓶𝓲𝓻 𝓜𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓭 is the exact opposite - reckless, inconsistent and a constant headache to the family. Scandals seem to follow him, and his charm rarely covers the mess he leaves behind. To Asma, he embodies everything she was trained not to be. When the family announces their engagement, she feels sentenced and he feels trapped. Their first reaction is denial; there's no way they could ever fit together. Yet the more they clash, the more they expose the cracks in each other's carefully guarded masks. Is this the story of two people destined to break one another, or of enemies triggering a love neither saw coming?
