A Love That Would Kill Her

Rita has a locket around her neck and a girl in her heart. Her father knew both and smiled anyway. Her mother would rather burn the world down than let either survive. When Rita’s twin brother discovers her secret, jealousy turns into a weapon. One night. One betrayal. One phone call home. And suddenly, love isn’t just dangerous—it’s a target. What comes next isn’t a fight. It’s an unraveling. A mother’s cruelty dressed as correction. A silence that swallows everything. And a choice that no one sees coming until it’s too late. Based on a true story, A Love That Would Kill Her is a Kenyan thriller about the price of being yourself when the people who raised you would rather bury you than bless you. This isn’t a love story. It’s a warning—and a rallying cry. Long live Reina.
