The smoke still rises from the charred ruins of the Baptist Mission in Nigeria. Inside lie the bodies of American missionaries Pastor John Reeves and his wife Sarah, alongside security guard Bill Morrison, cut down defending them from armed militants. But the attack wasn’t just religious persecution—it was a carefully orchestrated abduction.

Two women are missing: Kate McDonald, an American volunteer mourning her boyfriend Bill’s death, and Helen Campbell, a troubled British woman seeking redemption from her past life of addiction. For the Islamic extremists behind the assault, these women represent valuable commodities and powerful leverage.

Kate, with her blonde hair and American nationality, has been promised to notorious slave trader Khalid Al-Mazroui. Her virginity will be auctioned to a wealthy Arab prince. Helen has reluctantly become the concubine of Asim Rahman, the militant commander responsible for the massacre—the man she watched execute her friends.

As the countdown ticks, three parties converge: Khalid’s men carrying payment; Kate’s powerful father with his private military team; and the specialized counterterrorism unit led by Steve Case and his elite squad—sophisticated Senegalese operative Yanny, aristocratic Englishman Harry Warburton, and veteran Australian Phil Marshall.

In this pulse-pounding thriller, human trafficking and religious terrorism collide in a desperate race against time.
