New Novel Beyond Blames Explores Redemption, Truth, love and legacy.
We are pleased to announce the release of Beyond Blames, a compelling story that delves into the complexities of human relationships, forgiveness, and self-discovery. This thought-provoking book is set to captivate readers with its powerful narrative and deeply resonant themes.
In Beyond Blames, the kingdom is as much a character as the people who inhabit it—haunted by ancient secrets, forbidden desires, and the unseen hand of colonialism that shaped its fate. At the story’s heart is Mluna, a spirited young woman tangled in a web of secrets, dangerous love, and a mother’s inexplicable enmity. When she finds herself drawn to her stepbrother, Prince Meeme, their forbidden bond sparks hidden tensions within the royal family. They navigate the thin line between duty and desire, only to be tested when a fateful hunting trip turns deadly, forcing them to confront ancient forces that still roam the jungle.
As Mluna wrestles with her mother’s mysterious hostility and the hidden truths surrounding her birth, the kingdom itself teeters on the edge of chaos. Her father, the king, is soon faced with an impossible choice: sacrifice his only daughter to save the kingdom or risk the wrath of a powerful, ancient spirit. Bound by duty but haunted by love, each member of the royal family must make choices that will echo through generations.
Beyond Blames dives into questions of fate, responsibility, and the complexities of power. It asks if blame always has a clear target—or if some things lie beyond human control. This sweeping epic unfolds as a heart-pounding family saga and a deep reflection on the forces that bind people to their destinies. Full of intrigue, romance, and the thrill of a kingdom on the brink, Beyond Blames takes readers on a journey where love and legacy collide in ways no one can escape.
