When the Spell Breaks
is a soul-shaking memoir by Afiya Wilson that pulls back the veil on one woman’s six-month descent into emotional manipulation, financial exploitation, and sexual abuse—at the hands of the man she thought was her soulmate.
Told in raw first-person narrative, journal entries, and powerful reflections, Afiya takes you behind closed doors into the dark reality of narcissistic abuse. You’ll witness the charm, the trauma bonds, the silent treatments, and the gaslighting—until the day she breaks the silence, fights for her life, and walks herself back into the light.
This is not just a story. It’s a warning, a guide, and a testimony.
💡 For women questioning the truth of their relationship 💡 For survivors who want to know they’re not alone 💡 For daughters, mothers, therapists, and friends who need to understand the hidden damage of coercive control
More than a memoir, When the Spell Breaks
is a movement of restoration, resilience, and radical self-love. It includes a powerful appendix with domestic violence resources, survivor tools, and a message of hope.
If you've ever lost yourself in love, this book is your mirror—and your medicine.
