Shirk - a term mostly identified as polytheism, but also used to describe evasion of responsibility or obtaining through trickery. Shirk in Disguise is a tale of Reality and Illusion, the Superficial and the Substantial, side by side; the story of Azeema, an intriguing personality with an interesting past and a devastating end. Having grown up with losses and denials, she had longed for the glitz and glamour she saw in others' lives. She came of age surrounded by grinning crocodiles and toxic relationships, clutching at straws. Coupled with her own personal faults which influenced her choices, these finally led her to Shirk in Disguise. However, her parents' choices, the society's views and the vengeful determination of an unforgiving soul also played a part in her story. Hence, it's beyond the story of one or two. Rather, it's a story of All, for All, with messages suitable for all reading ages.

EXCERPT Bang! A shot echoed around them. Both of them stared at each other in confusion till the assailant pressed his fingers against his throat, where blood was gushing out. He staggered, blinking in surprise as he brought his blood-stained fingers to his eye. Ted stood in one swift motion.

There was his daughter, alive and standing. Her eyes- gosh, her once warm grey eyes were now blank. But what stole the breath from his lungs was the handgun clutched tightly in her trembling fingers, directed at where the assailant had stood a few minutes ago-his body lying in a pool of his own blood.

After five years of being on pins and needles, fighting crime like robots, the Titans are no longer teens. Entering their early-twenties, existentialism is bound to do a number on all of them, but what happens when someone finally puts their foot down and says enough is enough? That's where Nightwing comes into the picture. After dedicating so much of his life to being a superhero, he's had enough.

Or will he come to realize that there's an itch coming from his heart rather than his mind?
