Asra Haruna Fuya has spent her life running from the shadows of her own bloodline, two families locked in rivalry, each claiming her as their prize, each determined to bind her to their sons.

Haunted by guilt and the ghosts of the past, Asra longs for nothing but peace. She found it once, in Zaid Aliyu Razi, the man whose devotion was so tender it defied even death.
