"Amina has always heard the whispers about the river-how its songs lure the unwary, how its depths hide ancient hunger. But when the melody calls *her* name, she realizes the legends are terrifyingly real.**
Seventeen and sharp-witted, Amina fights to focus on her studies while her father arranges her marriage to a wealthy suitor with secrets of his own. But darker forces are at play: women vanish at night, a mysterious old man gifts her a cursed talisman, and her once-youthful grandmother withers by the day-desperate to reclaim her beauty by any means necessary.
As Mami Wata's haunting song tightens its grip, Amina must unravel a web of family betrayal and supernatural bargains before the river claims her soul.
A spine-chilling blend of Nigerian folklore and psychological horror, this tale will make you question every shadow, every whisper... and every kindness from those you trust most.
