Title: The Light that waits
A knock at midnight… and everything changes | Slow-burn mystery & faith
..........
The night was still. Too still.
Afiyah had been awake for hours, the shadows of the city pressing against her window. Then — three soft knocks. Not hurried. Not hesitant.
She froze.
Whoever stood behind that door hadn’t come to the wrong room.
When she finally opened it… her life stepped into the room.
The Light That Waits is a slow-burn whodunit with threads of faith, fear, and unexpected companionship. Set against the backdrop of a murder investigation in a girls’ hostel, it follows Afiyah — a quiet student far from home — and the stranger who knocks on her door the night a girl is killed.
