About this book

Nineteen-year-old Haya lives in Alexandria under a silence that grows more oppressive after a mysterious paralysis strikes her father. Then a rusted voice emerges from the wall, knows her name, and insists that she will never reach the truth. A black shell carried from the sea and an apparition demanding payment for an old covenant connect the family's present to a fault committed before Haya was born. Hagar Al-Deeb blends psychological horror with magical realism, using inherited trauma as both mystery and threat. Haya must determine whether love can release her from the burden or whether the promise of rescue is another form of possession.
