Veil Of Ashes: The Ash Street murders
Detective Taye Daramola doesn’t believe in the supernatural.
He believes in evidence,fingerprints, motives, and logic. But when a string of murders leaves behind bodies drained of their souls and covered in shimmering ash, science fails him.
Each victim bears a strange mark....a circle crossed by crescents and witnesses whisper about a woman cloaked in white light, walking through the rain. When Taye finally sees her, time itself bends, and he realizes he’s facing something far older than the city he protects.
As he digs deeper, Taye uncovers a hidden war between forgotten gods and cursed bloodlines, fought in the shadows of modern Lagos. Every clue drags him closer to a truth buried for centuries.....and to her, the woman with golden eyes who seems to know his name, his past, and the storm that sleeps within him.
But love in this world is dangerous.
Betrayal runs deep.
And the line between man and myth is fading fast.
When the ashes settle, Taye must choose:
the truth that could save the world… or the woman who might destroy it.
