Their marriage was a transaction, inked on paper, devoid of affection. Or so he claimed. “What did you expect? That I’d fall for you? That this would become some fairytale?” “I would appreciate it,” she said coldly, “if you can remember that too.” Xia Ruyan, poised and distant, was nothing like the women Mo Yichen had known. She didn’t cry. She didn’t chase. She didn’t flinch. “You’re not worth the effort,” she said, unapologetically brutal. He tried to provoke her. Tried to tear past the mask of composure she wore like armor. But she met his fury with indifference. Moved like he was invisible. Breathed like he wasn’t there. He hated it. Her calm. Her detachment. Her maddening control. “I don’t like games,” he said one last time before turning away. Then, with a dark, curling smirk, he made a promise to himself. Let her pretend she’s above it all. So composed. So unreachable. Sooner or later, Xia Ruyan will break… And Mo Yichen will be the one to shatter her. She doesn’t feel anymore. Not since the day everything she loved was taken from her. Now, she hides emotionlessly behind a wall of ice, like someone who can't be touched....... He feels too much but only for control, power, and winning every game he plays. Cold-hearted and calculating, he’s never let anyone close enough to matter… until her. Two strangers, each carrying wounds the world can’t see, are thrown together by fate. He wants to melt her defenses. She wants to escape his grip. But when fire meets ice, someone always gets burned. Some hearts freeze to survive. Others burn to feel alive. Only the fiercest embers remain.

A shot…. That was all it took to push me off the cliff… As I watched Xainder shout out to me helplessly, tears slowly trickled down his magnificent face, his usual grin no where to be found, my heart shattered to a million pieces watching my entire life flash right before my eyes with no more hope to hold on to. i watched the people I gave my heart to look at me in disdain.

Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun.

When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all.

All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.
