A Vow Written In Blood
Sinachi
A Vow Written in Blood Some vows are written in love. Others are written in blood. Amara Okafor never expected to marry the man her family should have feared most. Dante Moretti is cold, powerful, and dangerously unreadable. When he offers Amara a six-month marriage contract that could save her late father's company, she accepts—but not because she trusts him. She has secrets of her own, and marrying Dante may be her only chance to uncover the truth about her family's past. The rules are simple: one marriage, six months, and absolutely no questions about his missing mother. But Amara has never been good at obeying rules. A mysterious photograph, a hidden key, and a chilling message begin to unravel everything she believes about her parents. Soon, she discovers that her mother's disappearance may be connected to Dante's family—and that she might not be the only daughter whose life was built on a lie. With a twin sister she never knew, a lawyer hiding dangerous secrets, and a husband she cannot decide whether to love or fear, Amara finds herself trapped in a web of betrayal that began long before their marriage. Everyone has a secret. Everyone has a motive. And the closer Amara gets to the truth, the more dangerous the people around her become. Dante may not be the monster she imagined. But trusting him could cost her everything. Because the greatest threat to their love isn't the past they inherited—it's the truth someone is willing to kill to keep buried. In a family ruled by blood, betrayal, and revenge, will their marriage become their salvation—or the vow that destroys them both?

THE BOY WHO NEVER CAME HOME Subtitle:THE BOY WHO NEVER CAME HOME
Maria G. Pando
Three months ago, Jayden disappeared from school, and everyone believes he ran away. No one wants to talk about what happened that day. Then Nia finds a note inside her locker. “If you're reading this, I didn't run away.” The note is signed with Jayden's name.

But the deeper she goes, the more she realizes that Jayden's disappearance may be connected to something much closer to her than she ever imagined.
THE OTHER NAME
Temiloluwa K.
After three years of unexplained absence, Aderonke suddenly returns home with no memory of where she has been or what happened during the missing years. Her family welcomes her back, but their relief is overshadowed by an unsettling silence. Her mother seems frightened by questions that should have simple answers, while familiar places trigger fragments of memories Aderonke cannot understand—a yellow building, a woman's voice, a frightened child's hand, and a promise she cannot remember making. Then she discovers a small pink ribbon hidden among her belongings, marked with the initials M.O. When Aderonke begins asking questions, she learns that her cousin Morenike supposedly left for relatives in the East. But the memory of the child's hand she keeps seeing does not belong to Morenike. Then she discovers an old photograph showing three girls. Aderonke recognises herself and Morenike. The third girl is a mystery. As pieces of the past begin to surface, Aderonke realises that her family may have been hiding something for years—and that recovering her memories may reveal a truth far more frightening than the disappearance itself. Some memories disappear for a reason.
