About this ebook

The New York Times bestselling author of Life After Death, delivers her most compelling and enlightening story yet about young, deep love, the ways in which people across the world express their love, and the lengths that they will go to have it.

Powerful and sensual, Midnight is an intelligent, fierce fighter and Ninjutsu-trained ninja warrior. He attracts attention wherever he goes but remains unmoved by it and focuses on protecting his mother and sister and regaining his family’s fortunes. When Midnight, a devout Muslim, takes sixteen-year-old Akemi from Japan as his wife, they look forward to building a life together, but their tumultuous teenage marriage is interrupted when Akemi is kidnapped and taken back to Japan by her own father, even though the marriage was consummated and well underway.

“There’s not one drop of inferiority in my blood,” Midnight says as he first secures his mother, Umma, and sister, Naja, before setting off on a global journey to reclaim his wife. Midnight must travel across three countries and numerous cultures in his attempt to defeat his opponent. Along this magnificent journey he meets people who change him forever, even as he changes them. He encounters temptations he never would have imagined and takes risks that many a lesser man would say no to, all for the women he loves and is sworn to protect.

Ratings and reviews

Cup of tea, never will I agree to a man cheating on me openly because he gave me a title. Somehow women truly needs to know who they are, so that you gain insight on what you need. A big salute to all the strong willed women in the world, who absolutely will not let a man rock the core of their being only to land flat on their faces...

poised and intense makes me want be born in sudan in my next life time and be come muslim. now i follow some of the traditions about women and men gazing at each other if not married. love the protector in him. i only read midnight and meaning of love when im not disturbed because it makes me use my imagination. make movie although it won't be better than reading the book. netta

I think all of Sister Souljah's books are very powerful and they come with alot of meaning. I especially liked her first book : The Coldest Winter Ever because that told the story of a young girl who had a real struggle throughout her hole life. And I wanna say I honor you in many ways. And I hope you keep writing
