When the Rains Return

Adisa always dismissed his father's warnings about the cursed land-until the night a spectral woman in tattered red emerged from the baobab grove, her bare feet bleeding into the dust. "Your blood knows my pain," she whispered, her grip icy. She speaks of a broken promise, a debt owed by his grandfather-one that has festered into a generational curse. Now, the barren fields, the failing crops-they all make sense. But her demand is worse: "You must love me."

As the boundary between myth and reality crumbles, Adisa must choose: surrender to a ghost's twisted bargain or watch his bloodline-and his future-wither to dust. The land remembers. And so does she."
