East Meets West.
"He's not the character she created - but he looks just like him. Talks like him. And hurts unlike him."
As a child, Amira created a character-mysterious, brilliant, and dangerously charming.
Iskander is a gifted screenwriter with ink-covered hands, a narcissist with a boyish cruelty and a magnetic pull. He knows how to captivate with words, how to charm with silence, and how to destroy without lifting a finger.
Amira, a rebellious girl with wide, searching eyes, dreams of becoming a director. She believes in Allah, in love, and in light overcoming darkness. But can she resist the man who feels like her own invention come to life?
This is a story about what happens when you meet the shadow you've drawn in your mind. About how love can feel like addiction, and genius like a curse. And about the choice we all face: burn or run.
