In the aftermath of a tragic plane crash that shattered two powerful Kenyan families, two broken souls were left behind, bound by revenge.
Kian Mutara is the privileged son of a powerful government minister. Handsome, wealthy, and ice-cold, he has spent years planning his vengeance on the family he believes caused the crash. When he sets his eyes on Zellny Atieno, he knows exactly how he'll destroy her.
Zellny Atieno was once the daughter of a respected MP. Now she's barely surviving, carrying the weight of her family's fall from grace. When she arrives at Aureum International University on a scholarship, the last thing she expects is to catch the attention of the most dangerous man on campus.
What starts as a cruel game of power and payback quickly spirals into something darker and far more twisted. Kian wants to break her. Zellny refuses to stay broken. Between them lies obsession, hatred, forbidden pleasure, and buried truths neither of them is ready to face.
