But when tragedy shatters the future she expected, she finds herself married to a Spanish nobleman and taken across the Atlantic to a world where freedom, identity, and love are tested at every turn.
As cultures collide and loyalties unravel, Mawusi must navigate a dangerous society built upon slavery, political ambition, and betrayal.
