But it was her chance encounter with Alfred, a strange and cruel man who saw in Natir much more than she seems to be, is what’s about to change all of that.
His attempts to unleash Natir and forcing her to embrace her full potentials will end up sending her down a very thorny path packed with danger, deadly conspiracies, and horrible events, until the moment finally come when Natir stand her ground in he face of her gravest fear, and suffer the terrible price she had to pay to achieve her recognition as a person, as a woman, and an equal.”
