Tersesat- sebuah judul dari novel tentang kisah seorang gadis muda bernama Naya Maharani. Dia terpaksa bekerja menjadi TKW di Middle East karena keluarganya memiliki masalah yang hampir merenggut nyawa sang bapak. Dia sudah lima belas kali berganti majikam dalam jangga dua bulan, karena memang dia tidak bisa menjadi pembantu seperti pada umumnya. Di sinilah masalah muncul hingga ia ditenggelamkan ke dunia hitam. Walau akhirnya dia tidak sampai menjadi hitam. Nay justru menjadi gadis muda yang semakin tangguh. Nay tidak pernah tahu bahwa Zimat-ayahnya- adalah keturunan dari salah satu kerajaan di Madura, salah satu orang yang mewarisi city dusun. Hanya saja dalam garis keturunan keluarga Zimat, anak perempuan tidak diakui dan tidak dicatat dalam silsilah keluarga. Zimat sengaja merahasiakan hal ini dari anak-anaknya. Saat nyawa Zimat terancam Kasumi-istri Zimat-mengirim pesan khusus melalui adiknya-Safawi-kepada nenek Zimat. Nenek Zimat yang menerima pesan dari Kasumi mengirim salah satu orang terbaiknya untuk membantu Safawi, termasuk membiayai pelarian Zimat. Semua tidak semudah yang dibayangkan, karena kali ini Zimat harus menghadapi musuh yang tangguh termasuk musuh dalam selimut yang pada akhirnya Zimat harus melarikan diri ke tempat yang lebih jauh dan mengasingkan diri. Sekarang masih ada tugas yang jauh lebih besar di pundak Nay, karena ia anak pertama. Ia harus menggantikan tugas Zimat menjadi tulang punggung keluarga. Selain itu, dia masih harus menghadapi musuh-musuh Zimat termasuk harus membayar hutang sebesar 58.000 US Dollar, seperti yang tercantum dalam surat hutang yang terpaksa ditandatanganinya. Kisah ini agak panjang tapi Nasura mampu merangkum dengan manis, mengaduk-aduk emosi dan perasaan. Sedikit dibumbui horor dan kisah mistis karena tokohnya memang memiliki kelebihan di luar nalar. Sisi manis dan menawannya adalah meski para tokoh memiliki kelebihan, mereka ikhals menjalani fitrohnya sebagai manusia. "Aku ditenggelamkan ke dunia hitam tapi dia tidak pernah jadi hitam." Ucap Naya Maharani mengawali kisahnya. Ingin tahu endingnya? Baca sampai tuntas.
