The Ceremony
The night the register failed, Zara Osei learned that being unnamed could be more dangerous than being unwanted.
Six Months
Zara was about to learn something she'd never dared to think was possible.
London
SHE FOUND IT!!! ...and across the street, something or someone had already found her.
Rose Meets Cedar
Black tea. Fig. Cedar. She noticed him before she ever saw his face.
Adisa
"I know why." Four words. One stranger. And Zara's entire world about to change.
Too Much for the Scale
Six months of silence. One phone call that finally told Zara the truth.
Marked
"You do not know what that thing is." She was about to find out — the hard way.
Release
The mark wouldn't wash off. Whatever it had woken up in her wouldn't wash off either.
Behind the Door
One vision that changes everything Zara thought she knew about the register.
It Is War
And a name that changed everything Zara thought she knew about the register — the two ORI
The Burden of Choice
Taiwo didn't want to open the gate. He wanted to become what was behind it.
The First Grave
One of them lives. One of them doesn't. Zara just saw her own future — and Adisa's — and neither of them will say which is which.
Six Hours
"There is still something you do not know." The alarm rang before he could tell her. Some secrets don't get to wait.
One Must Close the Door
For one night, there was no gate, no prophecy, no war. Just the two of them — and a secret Adisa still hadn't told her.
Three Days
Lagos was already breaking before they landed. Zara just didn't know how little time was left to fix it.
An Ori Could
Three scents. Three generations of power. One broken register — and Taiwo had planned for all of it.
Seven Gates, Seven Cities
Adisa knew the price. He just didn't know it would be Amara who paid it.
The Final Seal
Zara followed scent through the dark to find Amara. She wasn't ready for what would be waiting for her when she did.
Only the Scent Remained
"I love you." "But I do not trust you yet." She had five seconds of honesty before the ground swallowed him whole.
When His Heart Stopped, She Made Her Choice
Taiwo told her to choose the world or the man she loved. Then Adisa's heart stopped in her arms—and Zara answered in the only way she could.
She Was Still Angry When She Kissed Him
He told her to leave him beyond the Gate. She reminded him she was still angry—and stepped into the black river anyway.
