Nothing shatters a life more than betrayal from the people you love most. In Salem, Zahra finds herself caught in an unimaginable storm when she learns that her husband’s death was not random, not an accident, but an execution ordered by none other than her mother, Mamzi.

Mamzi is no ordinary mother. She is a crime lord feared across Salem, her empire built on intimidation and bloodshed. Zahra has always walked the tightrope between daughterly loyalty and her desire for a normal life, but now the line has snapped. How does one reconcile love for the woman who gave them life with grief for the man who shared it?

Zahra has three real choices but none of them are easy. She could choose silence, burying the truth deep inside and pretending nothing happened. This would keep her safe but would also trap her in a prison of guilt, living under Mamzi’s shadow.

She could choose confrontation, demanding answers from her mother, even revenge. But in a world where Mamzi’s word is law, defiance could mean Zahra signs her own death warrant.

Or Zahra could seek escape, leaving Salem behind in search of freedom and peace. Yet running doesn’t erase the past. Mamzi’s reach is long, and Zahra would always wonder if she is looking over her shoulder.

The heart of the story is Zahra’s torment: blood ties versus love lost, survival versus justice. Salem forces us to ask the hardest question: when family turns into your greatest enemy, what would you do?
