The New York Times bestselling author of Life After Death,
delivers her most compelling and enlightening story yet about young,
deep love, the ways in which people across the world express their love,
and the lengths that they will go to have it.
Powerful and sensual, Midnight is an intelligent, fierce fighter and
Ninjutsu-trained ninja warrior. He attracts attention wherever he goes
but remains unmoved by it and focuses on protecting his mother and
sister and regaining his family's fortunes. When Midnight, a devout
Muslim, takes sixteen-year-old Akemi from Japan as his wife, they look
forward to building a life together, but their tumultuous teenage
marriage is interrupted when Akemi is kidnapped and taken back to Japan
by her own father, even though the marriage was consummated and well
underway.
"There's not one drop of inferiority in my blood," Midnight says as he
first secures his mother, Umma, and sister, Naja, before setting off on
a global journey to reclaim his wife. Midnight must travel across three
countries and numerous cultures in his attempt to defeat his opponent.
Along this magnificent journey he meets people who change him forever,
even as he changes them. He encounters temptations he never would have
imagined and takes risks that many a lesser man would say no to, all for
the women he loves and is sworn to protect.
