Description
In the magic-soaked capital of Oluwan, Small Sade needs work—and a maid’s life seems like the safest way to survive her unlucky reputation. When a single mistake binds her to the powerful Crocodile, a god feared for devouring pretty girls, she discovers she isn’t just unlucky: she’s a Curse Eater, able to reshape people’s fates through the work of cleaning. As she takes a position at a glamorous inn and tries to win her place among the city’s elite, the Crocodile’s warnings—and his larger, revolutionary ambitions—begin to close in on her carefully kept past. Blending romantic tension with high-stakes fantasy, the story explores identity, class, and the cost of changing what others believe is inevitable, in Jordan Ifueko’s signature voice of sharp wit, lush worldbuilding, and emotionally charged magic.
