In the winding streets of the Persian Empire, a poor girl is chosen to become the third prince's concubine. Aliya Farhad has no interest in the lofty ideas of the palace, the staff, or her lover.

After all, it's quite a strange sight to see one's lover gaining cosmic power from a tiny oil lamp. *** A 1001 Nights and Aladdin Retelling.

'Never surrender your heart to a stranger...' Persia had always been known as the country of culture and beauty, the kingdom of great wealth, the sovereignty of knowledge, an empire of scholars. For Afsana the golden country holds no attraction, in a society where she is called to be refined, educated and dominated. Under a roof where she is scorned and shunned for her existence--she dares to dream--of the powerful independent woman she could be. Those dreams are abandoned until...until she encounters a proud, arrogant foreigner who does not abide by any rule. His land holds the freedom of eagles, his alluring words mending her fragmented dreams...perhaps this stranger could give her everything she yearned for, so she thought...but what was it they said about strangers? Never trust them...
