Sinopse

ARYA, an attractive young white woman, is employed in a remote Capetonian mansion as governess, carer, and temporary house manager to a Black French-speaking millionairess known only as Madame. Arya is disturbed to find that the staff are being used for harsh secret work on the property and investigates, putting herself in grave danger.

Does she have the will, courage, and determination to overcome the challenges she faces – corrupt staff and officials, a conniving witch doctor, a crazed giant, ruthless syndicate gangsters, a family culture of modern slavery, an unfair racist political system, and the ravages of a Covid pandemic under the harshest lockdown rules in the world?

Only time will tell… Will fate reward her if she succeeds? And what will she do with those rewards? Will power corrupt her also, or will the purity and goodness of her soul win against all the odds to right some of the wrongs in her society?

Now, she must protect the one person she can still count on—herself. On the run from anyone who knows her face, Fiona crosses paths with a man whose eyes seem just as haunted as her own. She could save him...but he could destroy her. It’s a choice she’s had before, but last time she chose wrong. Logan North is done. His life is over. Eventually, they’ll catch him and kill him. And honestly, he can’t see much reason why that’d be a bad thing. The only thing keeping him moving is the girl who seems to need him more than she realizes. He had no intention of ever helping anyone again. Not after the last time went so wrong. But Fiona may make him rethink his plan.

    Even though Clementine is dealing with upheavals in her life (encountering an evil wizard from her past, talking dog), she is determined to keep things normal--meaning, business as usual. But when a house cleansing goes terribly wrong and someone winds up murdered, keeping things normal seems to be a pipe dream. To make matters worse, Clementine is the only witness to the crime. And when the body disappears, no one believes that a murder was ever committed.  
    But Clementine is convinced that a crime took place and she is determined to catch the killer. To add on even more mayhem, Malene Fredericks wants her help spying on their neighbor, Clem's dog can now talk, and Rufus Mayes is still hanging around looking for the memory spell that she has hidden.
