- Summary:
- In the depths of a nation buckling under the crushing weight of a military dictatorship, life is fading, reduced to ashes by repression, poverty, and injustice. Assane and Emma, orphaned twins, inherit the scars of a country disfigured by savage and bloody oppression. On the edge of a past marked by pain, they tear back the veils of their painful past, unearthing their lost identity and the heartbreaking truths behind their mother's disappearance. Meanwhile, an influential opponent, a pillar of a self-proclaimed resistance, is coldly executed on the orders of a head of state whose tyranny knows no bounds. Governing by fear and bloodshed, he, like his predecessors, transforms every protest into a macabre silence to keep his regime trapped in a spiral of terror. Through fragments of the twins' sacrificed lives and the souls tortured by power, this story stands as a testament to the suffering of an oppressed people. But, in the depths of stifling despair, a glimmer of hope remains, carried by the irreducible quest for freedom and the perseverance of a hope that refuses to die.--African Books Collective.
