Book Synopsis



In the depths of a nation buckling under the crushing weight of a military dictatorship, life is fading, reduced to ashes by repression, poverty, and injustice. Assane and Emma, ​​orphaned twins, inherit the scars of a country disfigured by savage and bloody oppression.

On the edge of a past marked by pain, they tear back the veils of their painful past, unearthing their lost identity and the heartbreaking truths behind their mother's disappearance.

Meanwhile, an influential opponent, a pillar of a self-proclaimed resistance, is coldly executed on the orders of a head of state whose tyranny knows no bounds. Governing by fear and bloodshed, he, like his predecessors, transforms every protest into a macabre silence to keep his regime trapped in a spiral of terror.

Through fragments of the twins' sacrificed lives and the souls tortured by power, this story stands as a testament to the suffering of an oppressed people. But, in the depths of stifling despair, a glimmer of hope remains, carried by the irreducible quest for freedom and the perseverance of a hope that refuses to die.

Dans les entrailles d'une nation ployant sous le poids écrasant d'une dictature militaire, la vie s'efface, réduite en cendres par la répression, la misère et l'injustice. Assane et Emma, jumeaux orphelins, héritent des cicatrices d'un pays défiguré par une oppression sauvage et sanguinaire.

Aux confins d'un passé marqué par la douleur, ils arrachent les voiles de leur passé douloureux, exhumant leur identité perdue et les vérités déchirantes derrière la disparition de leur mère.

Pendant ce temps, un opposant influent, pilier d'une résistance assumée, est froidement exécuté sur ordre d'un chef d'Etat dont la tyrannie n'a pas de limite. Gouvernant par la peur et le sang, ce dernier, à l'instar de ses prédécesseurs, transforme chaque contestation en silence macabre pour maintenir son régime dans une spirale de terreur.

À travers les fragments des vies sacrifiées des jumeaux et des âmes martyrisées par le pouvoir, ce récit s'érige en témoignage des souffrances d'un peuple oppressé. Mais, dans les abîmes d'un désespoir étouffant, une lueur subsiste, portée par l'irréductible quête de liberté et la persévérance d'un espoir qui refuse de mourir.
