In the village of Isieke, whispers tell of the Midnight Market—a place where shadows, secrets, and desires are sold at the cost of the heart. Nineteen-year-old Ngozi steps into the forest to uncover the truth about the market that claimed her father. Among glowing stalls, eerie traders, and a prisoner named Chima, she discovers that courage, love, and sacrifice may be the only way to break its hold. Will she survive the night and free the souls trapped within, or will she too become part of the legend?
Amara thought her life was ordinary—church on Sundays, school during the week, laughter with friends, and quiet nights at home. But one stormy evening, everything changed. A phone call from her mother revealed a name long buried: Kenechukwu. A man tied to her family’s past… a past she was never meant to uncover. When strange messages begin arriving from an unknown number and shadows linger too close to her window, Amara realizes she’s caught in a web of secrets older than her. Each whisper from the past pulls her deeper into a truth her mother desperately tried to hide. Now Amara must decide: obey her mother’s warnings and live in the dark, or confront the haunting legacy that refuses to let her go. But one thing is certain—some truths don’t just stay buried; they come knocking. And when they do… they demand to be heard.
