Dante Moretti is the king of the corporate underworld, a man whose shadow stretches from the glass towers of Dar es Salaam to its darkest corners.

As she prepares to "dance with the devil" at the State House gala, the lines between enemy and lover begin to blur. In Dante's web, an obsession so deep threatens to consume them both. The war hasn't just begun; it’s about to go nuclear.
