A Dance Of Dreams & Death

Darey Owen at twenty-seven, is the youngest billionaire on the planet, engaged to a woman as cold and glittering as he is, and bored with a life money made too easy. When his housekeeper's daughter, Nadia, begs to join him on a trip to Africa, he agrees, never knowing she has lied about exactly where they are going, and why.

In the village of Ile Ojiji, Darey finds something his fortune could never buy: Arike, the River Goddess. Feared, worshipped, and forbidden to any man, she has given her body and her life to the deity she serves since birth. She has never wanted a man's touch until she looks up from the water and finds a stranger watching her through a camera lens.

The past Nadia's mother fled twenty-three years ago is still alive in Ile Ojiji, buried in a prophecy that says a daughter will return to the land and must not be allowed to live... the gods are always watching.
