In the heart of the mystical Siwa Oasis, a legend whispers through the desert winds-a tale of a haunted palace known as Qasr Al-Sahra. Paranormal investigator Zahra Miraaj , a determined woman with an unshakable resolve, is drawn to the eerie silence and shadows that surround the palace. Known for her ability to communicate with the unknown, she embarks on her most challenging case yet, where darkness hides more than restless spirits. Miraaj is not just any investigator; her mission is to free spirits trapped in the limbo between life and death. Her work takes her to the most haunted places on earth, and Qasr Al-Sahra is no exception. As she steps into the forsaken halls of the palace, she senses something far deeper than a mere haunting-a love story buried in the walls, kept alive by the spirit of Sultan Ardashir. The palace itself seems to breathe with his presence, as if holding on to a forgotten sorrow. With every dark corner she investigates and every whisper from the unseen, Miraaj feels the weight of the palace's secrets pulling her into an emotional journey she never expected. As shadows coil around her, threatening to consume her mind and spirit, she must confront not only the forces that haunt Qasr Al-Sahra, but also the ghosts within her own heart. Her ultimate challenge looms: Will she be able to free the Sultan's spirit from its eternal chains, or will she become a prisoner of the palace herself, forever lost in the labyrinth of its darkness?
