Zara thought she had survived the worst night of her life. She was wrong. Years after the brutal murder of her parents—a crime that was never solved—Zara has built something that resembles peace: a career, a home, a husband who knows her silences better than her words.

But when a series of killings begins to unfold across Lagos—quiet, precise, and disturbingly familiar, something long buried begins to stir. The pattern is impossible to ignore. The details are too intimate.

And the closer Zara gets to the truth, the more it begins to mirror the life she has fought to protect. There are things her husband cannot explain. There are nights that do not account for themselves. And there are memories that refuse to stay in the past.

Love, Zara discovers, is not always a refuge. Sometimes, it is the perfect place to hide. Because the most dangerous enemy is like a shadow lurking around without permission.
