The novel follows Olerato “Rato” Moagi, a dedicated young doctor, whose life changes when she saves the lives of the King and Queen of the Zulu Kingdom after a tragic accident. In the hospital, she crosses paths with Prince Khayelihle “Lihle” Zulu, and an unexpected, forbidden love begins to grow between a commoner and a royal heir. As their feelings deepen, they face powerful obstacles—royal expectations, an arranged marriage, jealousy, betrayal, and dark forces rooted in witchcraft and palace secrets. Torn between duty and the heart, both Rato and Lihle must decide whether love is worth risking a kingdom, tradition, and their own lives.
