As God is my Witness (Novel)

Isla Ashanti Anderson—better known as Shanti—appears to have it all. At only twenty years old, she lives surrounded by luxury in a lavish Bal Harbour condo, draped in designer labels with access to money most people only dream about. But beneath the glamorous lifestyle lies a life controlled by strict parents, hidden expectations, and emotional emptiness.

To cope, Shanti loses herself in poetry, late-night thoughts, and a dangerous relationship she knows could destroy everything around her. What begins as passion and escape soon becomes the only thing making her feel truly seen.

Desperate for independence and tired of living under everyone else’s rules, Shanti agrees to a mysterious business opportunity promised to change her life forever. Fast money, freedom, and power suddenly feel within reach—but every blessing comes with a price.

As secrets unravel and loyalties begin to blur, Shanti finds herself pulled into a world far darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined. Torn between love, ambition, and survival, she’s forced to confront the one question money can’t answer:

How much are you willing to risk to finally be free?
