I elbowed his face trying to get up once again. "Look, I told you already. I don't know what the fuck you think this is, but I am not the fucking one. Don't test me. Get your hands off of me or I swear to god I'll choke you." "I'd enjoy it." the minute the words left his mouth I punched him in the throat then pressed my forearm into his neck as he sputtered. "I told you not to test me. You may think you're crazy, but I promise you I'm crazier." He smirked up at me and my stomach dropped. Maybe I was wrong. _________________________________________________ Nani figures that her kidnapping is the worst thing that can happen to her.

The Alter Of Ancestors
Amari Ngwenya, 22, was no ordinary woman. Quiet, observant, and cloaked in the whispers of her family's secrets, she moved through her village like a shadow no one fully understood. But some truths, buried beneath generations of silence, refuse to stay hidden forever. Oma, 33, carries power like a second skin. Handsome, commanding, and bound by customs he longs to defy, he is both a king and a storm - a man whose very presence ignites both fear and desire. In the kingdom of Azmira, where politics are bloodied and alliances are fragile, Oma rules not only with authority but with secrets of his own. Fate, however, is not idle. In a bond whispered by spirits and foretold by seers years before they met, Amari and Oma are drawn to each other in ways neither fully understands. From initial confusion and tension, they are pulled into a web of longing, danger, and irresistible desire - a fiery entanglement that tests their loyalty, their hearts, and the boundaries of passion itself. When family and political secrets collide with the raw pull of attraction, Amari and Oma must navigate a world of deception, power, and forbidden desire - where love is both a weapon and a risk that could consume them completely. 15.02.26Thank you for choosing this book.
