“The fat girl with brains.” Yeah, that’s the label Dawn Miller’s been stuck with since, well, forever. She’s smart – like, scholarship-to-Veridian-Academy smart – but man, the teasing never lets up. So Dawn’s plan? Keep her head low, blend in, just make it to graduation without losing it. But just surviving? That’s not cutting it anymore. Things start to shift when – out of nowhere – someone actually stands up for her. Wild, right? It’s weird at first, letting someone in. But bit by bit (and sometimes with a lot of ugly crying), Dawn starts to get it: she’s not supposed to just melt into the background. She’s got power. She always has, even if nobody bothered to notice. As Dawn changes, people around her do too. The lines blur – friends start feeling more like family, some enemies get real twitchy, and then there’s love. The real kind. Messy, surprising, no-bullshit love that shakes everything up. Becoming Dawn isn’t just some cheesy coming-of-age story. It’s about guts. Screwing up. Standing up. And finally, figuring out you don’t have to twist yourself into knots to fit in – you can just be you, loud and proud.

By day, Tola is just another voice on the customer service line, smoothing over complaints with a smile the caller cannot see. By night, she is Courier Seventeen, part of a covert network delivering messages and data too dangerous to trust to the digital world. The work is thrilling, and for the first time in years, she feels alive. But when a shadowy rival organization — the Black Circuit — starts hunting couriers, Tola becomes both the hunter and the hunted. Each delivery could be her last, every stranger could be an enemy, and even as her skills grow, Tola begins to suspect that her handler, Storyteller, has secrets of his own. In a city alive with noise, color, and danger, one woman must decide who to trust — and whether the gift that brought her here will keep her alive long enough to see the truth. Fast-paced, suspenseful, and set against the vibrant streets of Lagos, The Courier’s Code is a pulse-pounding tale of courage, trust, and the price of secrets.
