At sixteen, Saerina al-Hakim has spent her life crossing the deserts of the Qamari Empire alongside her father's renowned merchant caravan. Clever, sharp-tongued, and gifted at reading people, she expects to continue the family trade, not become a prize in the Sultan's harem. But when a chain of desperate lies and cruel misfortune places her before the empire's newly crowned Sultan, her future is no longer her own. Determined to marry for love rather than fight for a ruler's attention, Saerina refuses to play the deadly game of palace politics. Instead, she allies herself with the Sultan's most favored consort, believing that loyalty and obscurity are her safest path to freedom. She is wrong. Behind gilded walls and silken veils, every smile conceals an ambition, every kindness carries a price, and every whispered secret can cost a life. The skills that once made Saerina an exceptional merchant prove dangerously inadequate against seasoned courtiers, ambitious consorts, and royal schemers who have spent their lives mastering deception. And the greatest danger of all may be the Sultan himself. Intelligent, calculating, and impossible to ignore, he is unlike the tyrant she expected. The more fiercely Saerina resists him, the more their fates become entwined, drawing her deeper into a court where survival demands more than honesty - it demands power. In the palace where affection is a weapon and trust is the rarest currency, Saerina must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice before the game consumes her entirely.

UPDATE: 1/14/24 - Per reader request, I will turn this from a short story into a novella. It will be taken down soon and re-published! Despite years passing since Hasan moved his children from Québec to Amman, twenty-four-year-old Yazid still struggles to see passed his father's decision to leave his mother. As the firstborn, he attempts to take on more responsibility for his sisters, but one of them perpetually meets him headstrong. If there are three words Hasan would use to describe his son, they would be reckless, disagreeable, and unpredictable. For this reason, he entrusts his eldest daughter Aseel to care for the family, investing in her more than investing in Yazid. With his mother thousands of miles away, and his father unapproachable, the young man finds solace in injecting himself with needles of "amnesia" as he puts it, unaware that, with every memory he washes away, he grows in sin. On one lonely night, Yazid comes in contact with slithering dancers, swaying from side to side, whispering in his ear that there is only one true way to cleanse himself of his sins.

Perhaps growing up Arab comes with humorous moments worth sharing. Genre: Random

This story follows the main character, Azzura Naser as she struggles through high school as an ethnic girl, unveiling a sexist and misogynistic culture that surrounds her and most women around the world while discovering herself as she navigates her emotional maturity and grows up. -- Before I can start on the chapters I'm just waiting for a bit of engagement so that I have readers to look forward to giving content to :)

**Short Synopsis** If you want calm heroes and wise decisions-leave. This story follows a magician who broke the rules, summoned something he shouldn't have... and died for it. Then woke up somewhere he was never meant to be. Now he's back-with power that doesn't make sense, a past that refuses to stay buried, and a best friend cum rival who once saved him... and later killed him. Add clan politics sharper than a Damascus blade, forbidden alchemy, and a sky-realm that's slowly breaking reality- ...and you get a world where heresy might be the only thing keeping humanity alive. **Longer Synopsis** Once feared as a sorcerer, Wiro Zostan shattered doctrine by summoning Dhaens no mortal should command. An alchemist prodigy turned calamity, he rose too far, too fast-until the man he trusted most ended it. Aban Arkaan-his rival, his shield, the friend who once hid him from the law-killed him on the battlefield. Instead, Wiro wakes in Zawyaat-a man-made world suspended Seven Skies above, fractured, unstable, and feeding on stolen starlight as it continues to expand. Below, Tiawuk fractures under the weight of what he left behind. Clans sharpen their rivalries, haunted by the catastrophe tied to his name. But Wiro Zostan did not return unchanged. Every step he takes in the Skies disrupts its fragile balance below. Every choice drags him closer to the fate he escaped-the weight of thousands dead by his hand. Between broken loyalties, rivalries that refuse to die, and a war stretching across worlds, Wiro Zostan must decide what he becomes next: the monster history remembers- or the heretic who dares to break a corrupted design no one else will name. Because in a universe without mercy, heresy might be the only thing keeping humanity alive.
