Genre: Mystery / Magical Realism
Colette, the quintessential New York ‘it-girl,’ has a life many envy. But as her 40th birthday nears, she feels an undeniable void. Seeking a unique gift, she discovers a set of ancient North African keys — but what she doesn’t know is that the keys come with ownership of an ancient mansion steeped in magic, historical intrigue, and family feuds.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of modern Africa, Colette embarks on an unexpected journey far from the familiar streets of New York. As she unlocks each door of the riad mansion, she delves deeper into its hidden passages and whispered legends, revealing stories of love, betrayal, and long-buried secrets.
The riad is not without its dangers. As Colette unravels the mysteries within, she encounters a tapestry of characters — some seeking to help, others intent on keeping the riad’s secrets hidden at any cost.
Will the keys to the riad be the key to her happiness? Or will they open up the door to ruin?
