Description
Two women—one celebrated in Abuja for her irresistible charm and signature hot pepper soup, the other a British expat whose carefully managed life begins to fracture—are pushed past the point of endurance by betrayal, jealousy, and the men who underestimate them. When a trickster spirit offers a dangerous shortcut to revenge, their rage takes on a supernatural edge, turning desire into dread and identity into a weapon. Blending murder, body-swapping, and darkly comic horror, the story skewers power, performance, and the myths people tell themselves to justify cruelty. With Nuzo Onoh’s razor-sharp wit and high-voltage storytelling—at once satirical, twisty, and ferociously inventive—this is a blood-soaked tale of vengeance that asks what it really costs to be seen, used, and discarded.
