She was never meant to rule. He was never meant to love her. When the Lion of Qamara dies, his empire expects one of his sons to inherit the throne. Instead, his will names his daughter. At twenty-two, Zalika bint-e-Zafir becomes the first Sultana of Qamara - a ruler born of fire and forbidden ambition. Her father's legacy burns on in her, but every man around her wants to test whether a woman's hand can wield a crown forged by conquest. Among them stands Amir Altair ibn Affan - the youngest commander in the empire, a man of iron discipline and quiet power. Loyal to the throne, sworn to protect his Sultana... until duty begins to blur into something far more dangerous. As rebellion brews in the east and faith is twisted into politics, Zalika must prove that her mind is sharper than any sword - even as her heart betrays her defenses. In a kingdom where love is weakness and loyalty can kill, she and Altair walk the thin line between devotion and destruction. A story of power, passion, and peril - where a woman fights not just for a crown, but for the right to love on her own terms. ⸻ Sequel to The Sultan's Obsession, but can be read as a standalone.

The patient man, who can no longer be called patient, glares at the poor girl who is pressing her lips tightly together, trying not to let out a sniff, while holding the hem of her shawl so tightly that it will definitely leave wrinkles. "You said..." she starts quietly but ends up bursting when she cannot remember exactly what he taught her. "That you wouldn't be rude! But you're so rude! I don't want to learn from you!" she tried.

"Jerk," she mumbles to herself before quickly glancing up with wide, innocent eyes, hoping he didn't hear. It's a love story that's as sweet as it is ridiculous, filled with more laughter than either of them ever expected.
