"YOU FOOLISH GIRL, NOT EVEN YOUR STORIES CAN SAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL THROAT."
Khai killed 1000 girls before he got to her. And he would make sure she would die like the others. His beautiful hands demand blood on them.
Mazeeda would make sure that she'll be the last girl Khai would ever kill. Her beautiful neck will not be touched by a blood-coated blade. She will take her friends place.
If Mazeeda cannot save her own life with trained hands, she will do it with her quick mind and sly mouth. During the night, she weaves stories never told before to Khai; in the morning, she roams the palace to escape. With each tale she tells, the more she realizes these aren't just stories; but something much greater.
Something that Khai is keeping from her, things he does not want to be let out.
Somewhere a 1000 miles across the sand kept land, three brothers are plotting something that'll end the reign of the monster and save their sister.

Welcome to a story where hearts wage wars, pride crumbles, and love... isn't always gentle." They say fate doesn't ask before changing your life. At Alnoor University, fate doesn't just knock-it crashes, breaks, and rebuilds. Amira Reyhan, a girl who walks in with quiet strength and eyes full of hidden storms. Raif zayyan, the king no one dares to question-until she does. Their first meeting? A incident. Their second? A mistake . After that... nothing is the same. Secrets. Power. Unspoken bonds. Wild emotions. An obsession that feels wrong... yet makes everything feel right. Friendships will be tested. Hearts will be bruised. Dreams will collide. And love? It'll either destroy them-or define them. This isn't a story about perfection. It's about two souls who weren't supposed to meet-but did. And once they did... nothing could stop what was coming. --- "Ishq-e-Naqsh" isn't a fairytale. It's a war. A test. A heartbeat that never fades. Are you ready to feel every beat of it?

Samaira lived her life bound by her father's expectations, always doing what was right. When he introduced her to Harsh, she never expected to fall for him. But just as love began to bloom, a decade-old promise shattered her world-forcing her into an engagement with Ryan Raichand, her cold, enigmatic boss and a billionaire in the gemstone industry.

Yet, he couldn't escape the weight of his father's word, a promise tying him to Samaira in a fate neither of them chose.
