The Ice Prince of the Desert (Short Story) London had no choice but to cross the hottest desert just to see the Prince of the Kingdom of Al-Farhinah, Israel "Izzy" Yasin. He isolated himself from everyone and chose to live like a hermet in the middle of the desert. London travelled riding a camel, temporarily dyed her blond hair black and disguised as a man so she would not attract the desert bandits... until she arrived and met Izzy again. BUT he thought she was a deaf young boy who came to steal his black diamond. They fought physically until her headdress fell revealing her true identity.

They were childhood sweethearts who believed love would be enough, until it wasn't. When things got serious, he walked away. Years later, she's rebuilt her life: married, a mother, and finally at peace...or so she thinks. Now he's back; a smoking hot and famous actor. A business deal forces them into each other's orbit, reopening wounds the small town never forgot. As whispers turn into scandals and tragedy strikes, she finds herself leaning on the very man who once broke her. Torn between the past that still aches and the future she chose, she must decide whether love is about unfinished feelings - or staying when it matters most.

You are eighteen. You have friends. School. Plans for the future. And it feels like your whole life is still ahead of you. You dream of love - quiet, real. The kind that changes everything. Of the one who will someday become your other half. But sometimes life doesn't ask who you want to be. When desires suddenly turn real, when feelings break free from dreams and begin to reshape the world around you - fear follows. When fire starts to spark nearby, when dreams feel too real to ignore, and a stranger looks at you as if he knows more about you than you know about yourself - you understand: this is no coincidence. The world is preparing for a battle. Good versus evil. Light versus darkness. But what if good isn't truly good? And evil doesn't seek to destroy - but to protect? A shadow looms over your home. Or is it light? She is only a spark. But every fire begins with one. Spark. Before the Flame is a story of first love that came too early. Of choice. Of power. Of fear. And of a feeling strong enough to save the world - or burn it to the ground.
