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.

After the sudden death of her guardian, Luciana, Serafina is uprooted from everything she's ever known and brought to a sprawling, terrifying estate in northern Italy. Her new life is ruled by cold, unreadable men who terrify everyone but speak to her in quiet, unfamiliar tenderness. As Serafina tries to adjust to governesses, towering gothic halls, and brothers who seem more like shadows than people, she begins to suspect that the past she was told isn't the full truth. Why was she hidden from them all her life? Why does no one speak of her parents? And why does every hallway seem to whisper secrets? Each brother wears a mask. But Serafina isn't just a little sister. She's a Lombardi. And she's going to find out the truth - even if it unravels everything they've tried to protect her from.

He was my love, but I was just his path towards the crown which he never owned. When my parents warned me he was a terrorist, I laughed. I didn't believe them. Not until he robbed his own love and left her to die in tiny deaths, moment by moment. We weren't just a few years apart in age, but miles apart in our thoughts as well. Our origins were different, our upbringings were different, we lived in different directions of the world, and yet I never let any of these cause a crack between us, until he decided to build one. REVENGE. His revenge. I was born with the title of Princess, and he was forced to become a knight. He was ready to destroy both of us in the flames of his revenge, lapping around our relationship's newly dug grave. And yet, I stood there firm, unshakable, unbreakable, indestructible, ready to see what his extent was. Because no matter what, at the edge where he ends... I begin. Our marriage didn't only gave a new direction to our relation, but it also sparked an unspoken hunger in him. I don't know why I was getting punished for something I never did. Not only did I betray the promise to my parents, but I also betrayed my every boundary for him. My love for him turned to my dedication when he gave me the only reason to hate him. He put his blade on the neck of the only one I loved the most. So, I put my blade on him, slicing off all the threads of our never budding relationship. He wanted to win it all for the Crown. So, I destroyed it all for the Blood. It was the battle of Blood vs Crown. And the winner was yet to be announced.
