Arzika - A Novel

Arzika

Haunted by legacy. Healed by love.

When Arzika returns to Lagos for his brother’s funeral, he doesn’t expect his past to catch fire—or for love to rise from its ashes.

Bound by tradition and a family name that cost him everything, Arzika has built a quiet life far from the shadows of his father’s expectations.

But a single encounter with Mo'—a fiercely independent fashion designer with scars of her own—pulls him back into the heartbeat of a city he thought he’d left behind.

As their connection deepens, secrets resurface, and the past threatens to derail the fragile hope they’ve found in each other.

Between family drama, unspoken grief, and an old flame that won’t stay buried, Arzika must decide: can he finally choose love on his own terms?

Set between Abuja and Lagos Nigeria, Arzika is a tender, slow-burning love story about healing, home, and the courage to start again.
