At twenty-two, Zalika bint-e-Zafir becomes the first Sultana of Qamara - a ruler born of fire and forbidden ambition.

Among them stands Amir Altair ibn Affan - the youngest commander in the empire, a man of iron discipline and quiet power. Loyal to the throne, sworn to protect his Sultana... until duty begins to blur into something far more dangerous.

In a kingdom where love is weakness and loyalty can kill, she and Altair walk the thin line between devotion and destruction. A story of power, passion, and peril - where a woman fights not just for a crown, but for the right to love on her own terms. ⸻ Sequel to The Sultan's Obsession, but can be read as a standalone.Complete

In the Name of Love and Loyalty
"I'm so sorry," she said, but there was no fear in her voice. "I wasn't looking where I was going." I clenched my jaw. "You should have been." To my surprise, she didn't back down. "Well, maybe you should watch where you're going, too. It's not like I did this on purpose." I stopped, stunned. "Do you have any idea who you're speaking to?" Her eyes didn't flinch. "Yes, I do. And I don't care. I'm not going to stand here while you blame me." I was taken aback. Most people would've cowered, but she didn't. "Next time, be more careful," I said, colder now. "I will," she replied, "And maybe don't judge so quickly." ***** Zahra is a kind, fierce, and hardworking woman who is deeply dedicated to her religion.

Lady Lucifer
To the cross, to the prison, to the sky, to the grave. In your arms, my love, is where Iʼll die. When Sultan wakes up in the heart of the desert with nothing but a pen in his hand, a curse on his back, and a name he canʼt remember, the only thing he knows is her -- the veiled woman who haunts his dreams. In a storytelling realm, where history is fiction, currency is literature, and stories make up the world we live in, Sultan seeks to understand his dreams: A warlord with blood on his hands. A slave mongerʼs daughter, desperate to feel something. Thatʼs what made their affair so whispered about. And thatʼs what would bring the world to its knees. In his dreams, the veiled womanʼs whispers are a prophecy - to the cross, to the prison, to the sky, to the grave: There will be killing in Scotland, Sultan. There will be killing ʼtill the score is paid.
