New York Times bestselling authors Ashley & JaQuavis bring you the first in the Murderville trilogy, exploring the cruel underground world of human trafficking that takes control of lives and love is a long-lost hope, but for Liberty and Aâshai, nothing short of death could separate the twoâbut when their past street life comes back to haunt them, thereâs nothing they can do but accept their fate.
Two children from Sierra Leone, Liberty and Aâshai, are brought together by chance only to be forced apart by the most inevitable and tragic fateâsold as slaves into the human trafficking world. Ashley and JaQuavis bring us this classic love story set against modern lifeâs most horrifying realities.
Liberty is dying of a fatal heart condition, though she desperately wants to survive until her 25th birthday when her sister has promised to visit her. Aâshai blames himself for not protecting Liberty, but all Liberty asks is for Aâshai to tell her a story, to help her remember what brought them to this point. He knows that this is the last story he will ever tell and the last she will ever hear.
As Liberty lies dying, Aâshai walks her though their past, reliving their ill-fated journeys through the streets. Their story takes them from an arranged marriage, through Mexicoâs drug cartel, child brothels, hustling in Detroit, to escaping the high-powered heads of L.A.âs underworld. But ultimately, this is a story of love and redemption that will leave you breathless from the unpredictable and mind-blowing ending.
