This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

'The past doesn't stay behind; it travels with you.'

Violence doesn't just destroy buildings. It moves into people, coiling beneath their ribs like a living thing.

Daud's family fled Afghanistan's nightmare, thinking the worst was over. But foreign lands bring new horrors: detention centers, handcuffs in parking lots, fluorescent lights buzzing like parasites while strangers rifle through your belongings.

The boy who pressed his face to Kabul's streets now faces polite scrutiny marking him as an outsider. His reflection is a stranger. His dreams are battlefields.

Some wars never end. They only change form. The violence that once ruled Kabul has crossed continents and decades, settling deep inside him. Now Daud must choose: surrender to the shadows, or find the courage to break free once and for all.

A gripping tale of survival spanning continents and decades, revealing how trauma travels and what it takes to finally break free.

Warning: This story will move into your chest and make itself at home.
