About this audiobook

Behind the towering walls of Chief Obi’s compound, silence is law and obedience is survival. For years, Janet has lived as a ghost—stripped of worth, shamed for her barren womb, and bound by the fifty unbreakable rules that govern every breath the women in the household take. To disobey is to invite disgrace. To speak is to provoke wrath. To feel is to be dangerous.

But everything changes when Tamara arrives.

Bold, beautiful, and untamed, Tamara is unlike any woman the compound has ever seen. She wears defiance like perfume and leaves rebellion in her wake. With every broken rule, she unearths secrets buried deep within the compound—and deep within Janet’s soul.

As tension simmers and loyalties shift, a quiet storm builds. Plates shatter. Windows open. And the final rule, the one no one dares name, trembles on the edge of collapse.

In a world where women are taught to kneel, what happens when one finally stands?

Breaking the Rules is a gripping tale of power, silence, and the fire that burns beneath. A psychological and emotional thriller where the most dangerous rebellion begins not with war—but with a whisper.
