measured in currency-it is measured in silence. And no one is more silent, or more powerful, than Crown Prince Muhammad, known to the world only as Yarima. Stinky rich, devastatingly handsome, and possessed of an aura so chilling that grown men avert their eyes in his presence, Yarima rules his family's multi-billion-dollar empire and the royal court with an iron will. He is a man who speaks in whispers and commands through shadows. He has everything, yet he is a king in a cage of his own making. Enter Zarah Abba, the daughter of a middle-class bookkeeper. She is "The Light" of the Yakasai district-beautiful, sharp-tongued, and unimpressed by the glitter of the monarchy. While the rest of the city bows, Zarah stands tall. While the city fears the Yarima, Zarah pities him. When a chance encounter on a dusty road turns into a clash of wills, Yarima becomes obsessed with the only woman who dares to look him in the eye and tell him "No." But in a world of royal protocol, arranged marriages to noblewomen, and treacherous palace politics, their friction creates a fire that threatens to burn the ancient city walls to the ground. He wants her submission. She wants his humanity. In this high-stakes game of pride and prejudice, only one can remain standing.

Murad Al-Abbas is a man carved from duty and stone. As a high-ranking royal, he is as powerful as he is breathtakingly handsome-a man whose presence commands absolute silence and whose temper is as cold as the desert night. He has no room for sentiment, only the heavy crown of his lineage and the secrets that keep his empire standing. Inaya Ibrahim is a vision of grace from a modest home, her life defined by the rhythmic scrub of laundry in a dusty courtyard and the stinging whispers of a family that barely sees her. She is a girl of middle-class dreams and quiet resilience, hoping only for a life of peace far away from her sister's cruelty.

Some know her as Aisha the troublemaker, the girl whose laughter dances a little too freely, the light that seems to chase shadows from every room she enters. But he sees something different... a side the world will never notice, a quiet storm behind her smile, a fire that burns just for him. To him, she is no one else, no mask, no pretense she is only one thing: his Ayla -Book Two of The Shettima Series- Out Now ✨

Between the hum of monitors and his own daughter's whispered bedtime stories, Zayn finds himself falling for a woman whose every breath is a victory. In the quietest corners of the hospital, something unexpected blooms. It's a love built on gentle jokes, whispered confessions, and hands held tight against the approaching dark. But medicine has its limits, and as surgeries fail and hope grows thin, Zayn is forced to face the ultimate question: How do you save someone who has already accepted the end? Zayn and Zarah is a raw, emotional journey through the wreckage of illness toward a light neither of them saw coming.
