Fate and faith. Blood and betrayal. A gifted young man's rise collides with a legacy buried in sin.
Shola, a brilliant architecture student, believes his future is certain-until a secret society, a lost father, and a mother's tragedy pull him into darkness. From success to guilt, from love to ruin, his life becomes a confession written in smoke.
Some stones roll to keep moving; others roll until they crush everything in their path.
A NOVELLA-
Nabila's world had once been filled with light, laughter, and love-until the darkness crept in and consumed it all. For the past year, she has lived in self-imposed exile, hiding from the people who knew her and the memories that haunt her. Once vibrant and full of dreams, Nabila now drifts through life in a haze of sadness and indifference, clinging to the faint hope that happiness might find her again, though it feels impossibly out of reach.
Umar's life is no less tangled. Stuck in a complicated marriage, his only joy is his young son, who anchors him in a life that often feels unlivable. As a father, Umar's devotion is unshakeable, and he would sacrifice anything to keep his son safe and smiling, even if it means enduring a life that stifles his own happiness.
When Nabila and Umar's paths unexpectedly cross, they discover a kindred spirit in each other-someone who understands the pain, the yearning, and the fragile hope for something better.
