She chased a soft life?and landed in a trap.

Pearl Motsumi is eighteen, fresh from graduation in Makaleng, and tired of being "the good girl" with empty pockets. Her best friend, Palesa, knows how to work a room?and how to offer Pearl's name for access. One glittering invitation pulls Pearl to Cape Town, where a charming older man promises comfort, status, and a new version of herself. Back home, her mother calls her name into a village that loves to judge. What starts as admiration becomes rules, favors, and quiet threats.

Will Pearl find a way out before she disappears for good?
