Synopsis

Every time night falls, Ikenna’s family runs—never staying long, never speaking his name aloud, haunted by a faceless darkness that stole his twin and stalks them from village to city. When the black shadow returns, old wounds bleed and secrets threaten to break their silence: is Ikenna the next sacrifice, or the reason the curse hunts them? One wrong word, one forgotten rule, and the evil that took his brother will claim another soul before sunrise.
