Beneath the Silk Sky

Zainab, the sheltered daughter of a wealthy merchant in Kano, is promised in marriage to a powerful ally of her father. But everything changes when she discovers a hidden letter inside an embroidered silk turban-meant for a woman who vanished twenty years earlier. The letter speaks of forbidden love, betrayal, and a secret that could ruin powerful families and shift the balance of trade and political alliances in the city.

As Zainab seeks answers, she crosses paths with Idris, a skilled mapmaker and quiet revolutionary posing as a trader. Their connection deepens with each clue they uncover. But someone else is watching-and the more they uncover, the more dangerous it becomes.
