They called her a mistake. They called him a monster. Princess Ariel Ravenspire was born of forbidden passion - the bastard daughter of a king who cannot bear to look at her and a mistress long since forgotten. In the court of Elarion, she is a ghost draped in silk, invisible except when her half-siblings need a target for their cruelty. They've spent years trying to break her and snuff out the gentle fire that burns within her chest. But Ariel refuses to become the villain of her own story. Where they offer hatred, she gives grace. Where they see weakness, she harbors an unshakable strength. Across war-torn borders, in the shadow-draped Kingdom of Umbrahal, Crown Prince Caden Valtara is the nightmare that haunts the wicked. They call him the Demon Prince - a title he's earned with blood and brutality. Ruthless to his enemies, merciless to the corrupt, he moves through the darkness like vengeance incarnate, dismantling trafficking rings and crushing those who prey upon the powerless. The aristocracy trembles at his name. The common folk whisper prayers of gratitude. He is judge, jury, and executioner - and he has never apologized for the monster they've made him. When two kingdoms exhausted by endless war finally seek peace, the price is steep: a royal bride to seal the treaty. Ariel, the unwanted princess, becomes the sacrifice - a lamb offered to the demon. She expects death, or worse. He expects a fragile, terrified girl who will cower in his presence. But neither expects to find, in the person they were taught to fear, the one soul in all the realms who truly sees them. She was raised to be forgotten. He was born to be feared. But some bonds are forged in fire - and no kingdom can stand against them. A demon feared by all. A princess loved by none. Tropes: Only soft towards her Insta Love (INSTA) Arranged Marriage (forced) Love at first sight Villian mmc (kinda?) Touch her and die 🤭 HEA

Aymaan Malik had everything-wealth, power, influence. As the only son of the president, he was adored by many, feared by most, and spoiled beyond repair. Arrogant, bossy, and cruel, Aymaan lived as though the world existed only to serve him. Then came Aiyanah-the clumsy, timid daughter of the household maid. She tried to stay unnoticed, blending into the walls of the grand Malik mansion, but her very existence seemed to irritate him. She was everything he wasn't: meek where he was commanding, naive where he was cunning. What began as mockery soon twisted into something darker, something Aymaan couldn't control-an obsession. The spoiled heir found himself drawn to the one girl who was supposed to remain invisible. And Aiyanah, caught between fear and an unfamiliar pull toward him, realized that escaping his grasp might be far more impossible than enduring it. In a world where power defined worth, could a fragile heart survive the obsession of a boy who had never been told "no"?

My father died 40 days ago. Today, his best friend put a ring on my finger. Alhaji Musa was 25 when he taught me how to ride a bike. I was 9. Now he's 34. I'm 19. And he says I'm his _Amanah_ - a trust my father left him before he died. "Guard her. Marry her. Don't let the world touch her." That's what Baba made him swear. On the Qur'an. He says he won't touch me until I finish school. He says I can say no. He also says: "I don't lose what Allah trusts me with. Even if you hate me for it." My mum is crying "Alhamdulillah." My aunties are posting my business on WhatsApp. My best friend is typing in all caps: "GIRL THIS IS A CRIME IN 6 STATES." I'm supposed to say yes at Maghrib. But am I Baba's daughter... or Alhaji Musa's Amanah? And is there a difference?

THE FIRSTS SERIES BOOK 1 They taught her that silence was strength. That obedience was worship. . Asmau never asked for a love story. Growing up between cultures, between heartbreak and healing, she learned early that silence is survival-and trust is dangerous. Now, years later, she's told this is God's will. To marry. To surrender. To begin again. But how do you give your soul to someone when pieces of it were stolen long ago? And then there's Marwan. A man who doesn't chase, doesn't press, doesn't pretend. A man whose presence feels like stillness after a storm. Quiet. Watching. Knowing. A man with eyes that see too much and hands that never reach for what isn't his. In a world where shame speaks louder than truth, Asmau must decide: Will she live quietly to please them? Or finally choose her own voice? This is a story about quiet faith. About healing, not all at once-but in the hush between prayers. About choosing yourself... even when your voice shakes. A tender story about girlhood, grief, and the quiet rebellion of choosing yourself.
