They came with paper and left with everything else. The paper stayed. We have been governing ourselves with their handwriting ever since. Valdara is thirty-one years free and not free at all. The Auren Empire is gone. What remains is The Registry - their administrative backbone, buried inside the Federal Union's digital infrastructure, forgotten by everyone except the ghost of the system that built it. It gives whoever finds it something the constitution never intended any single person to have: access to everything. Every contract. Every account. Every stolen valda sitting in a ghost company's ledger while a northern village buries its children. Zara Mosa found it at 2am in a government server room, on her knees on cold concrete, following a paper trail that led from a phantom road contractor to a school convoy massacre to the quiet, catastrophic center of how Valdara actually works. She is twenty-five. She is precise, patient, and furious in the specific way of someone who has watched the same theft performed on the same people for her entire life. She is going to burn it down - not with fire, but with the Aurens' own instrument. The Registry, turned against the system it was built to protect. Rowan Vael, the man hired to stop her, calls this dangerous. He is right. Zara calls it justice. She is also right. Valdara calls it nothing yet. It doesn't know she exists. Not yet. The Registry is literary political thriller - a story about colonialism's long shadow, the mathematics of corruption, and one woman's war against a system designed to survive every attempt to fix it. For anyone who has ever watched their country perform justice without delivering it.

As the little girl wandered the dangerous streets of New York, she was kidnapped and somehow ended up in the foster home of the Mehmoods. At the young age of 12, she had already gone through a lot.

Liking Maryam's sensibility and piety, they ask for her hand in marriage for their only son; Abdullah Saleh. Knowing that it was the only way out of her misery, she gladly accepted and despite her foster family's disapproval, started her life as the Saleh family's daughter-in-law and the wife of Abdullah Saleh, a stranger. Abdullah Saleh, the famous workaholic, charming, young CEO of Saleh textiles. His intense gaze, raven straight hair, and pale creamish skin weren't one to go unnoticed. Partying, girlfriend and work were his main goals in life and nothing could change that. He was pretty content until a little girl who liked to act snobby and confident, forcefully entered his life. To say that he was annoyed would be an understatement. They say polars attract but this couple just didn't click. The bond of marriage between the two, binding them together created a big clash. And one thing was for sure, it wasn't pretty. __________________________________ Note: The credit for the images used in the cover goes to however made them.

Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer)-a castaway who spends twenty-eight years on a remote tropical desert island near Trinidad, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers, before ultimately being rescued.
