She was trained to see through lies.
But what if the biggest lie... was her own reality?

Leah Nworie is a 27-year-old detective with a flawless reputation, a loving fiancé, and a quiet yearning to start a family. But everything shatters the night she walks into a luxury Lekki mansion and finds a woman dead-smiling, eyes wide, and hand dipped in a bowl of powdered white mustard.

What begins as a murder investigation spirals into something far darker: ancient symbols etched in blood, whispers of a secret society operating from inside Lagos' most powerful homes, and a trail of deaths disguised as suicides.

As Leah digs deeper, reality begins to fracture. The dreams. The voices. The haunting shadow of a little girl who keeps calling her "Mama."

Everyone has secrets.
But some truths were buried for a reason.

And in the city where wealth hides sin, even the innocent will bleed.

Come Home, K by TheLostAndFoundPile
22 parts Ongoing
Kulthum is going through something. It could be a hormonal shift, another round of her "rebellious teen phase" even though she's now twenty-two, or an identity crisis. Whatever it is, Kulthum has changed. She can feel it, and everyone can see it, but no one can cite a reason for it-including her. When Kulthum comes home from her third unattained university degree, lugging more than suitcases, her parents have had enough. They decide to do what every African parent living in the United Kingdom has once threatened to do. They ship her back home to Nigeria. With a one-way first-class ticket, Kulthum finds herself stranded in the busy city of Lagos, stuck with a family she knows nothing about and surrounded by her culture, which feels completely foreign to her. Her parents hope her year abroad will cause her to have a change of heart...but Kulthum meets a man who might steal it. - - - - First Published September 28th 2024.

Fatal Attraction: The Hayes Legacy by Masegirl
12 parts Complete
Tamia Hayes knows betrayal. Framed by her treacherous ex-lover, Darius King, she traded three years in prison for a new life as a quiet, lethal private investigator in Atlanta. She tracks secrets, but she guards her own truth: the controlled rage wrapped in velvet, and the thirst for justice Darius stole from her. Tamia rebuilt herself from the ashes, tougher, sharper, quieter. She's stunning, plus-sized, and moves like a walking warning sign-a true femme fatale grounded in the cultural texture of a modern Black noir. Then the phone rings. Darius King is dead, consumed by a warehouse fire. And the police found her name-Tamia Hayes-written on the wall in his own blood. Now, Tamia is the prime suspect in the high-profile murder of the man who ruined her life. Assigned to the case is Detective Malik Cross, a controlled, ethical cop who shares Tamia's rough history, and whose attraction to her danger is quickly becoming his fatal flaw. To clear her name, Tamia must dive back into the very darkness she fled. But Darius King was a master manipulator, and she quickly realizes his "death" is either the final, spectacular betrayal, or a deadly lure designed to finish what he started. She wants justice. She needs closure. But in the neon-drenched shadow of the city, Tamia's only fatal flaw might be her own deep, desperate desire. Start reading now to enter a world where power, rage, and survival are filtered through a beautiful, lethal Black lens.

In a country like hers where seeing the unseen is regarded as something a little on the devious side, she's about to convince herself and the people around her that she hasn't lost her sanity... or has she?
