Shadow was already used to being just that: a shadow in the eyes of society that marginalized her over 9 years.
After a traumatic and life changing event in her life, Shadow learned to take care of herself alone in a way that she did not depend on any of the kingdoms that had left her in the lurch. On the contrary, she, in her conception, acted in justice: they stole her innocence, she stole them back.
Growing up on the street with a good light hand, she created a great reputation for herself without ever being caught, making civilians even believe that had been an entity that stuck it's invisible hand into their pockets.
For her, she was nothing more than a skilled pickpocket, but for the Queen of Althaia, she was a way of getting what she wanted: answers to the plague of a myth that had been proving to be more real than just a legend.
However, Shadow's loyalty is deposited in only one person: herself.
Noor, a dancer in the Royal Court of the Al-Yauzhan Empire wants nothing more than to pay off her debts and lead a nice, simple life-but a chance encounter with the crown prince and his brother brings her into the dangerous world of court politics. As Noor and the princes investigate their uncle and cousin's possible treason, she grows closer to the crown prince, but in order to save the kingdom and the person she loves, Noor will have to risk everything...
A romantic adventure set in an imagined Arabic kingdom, THE DANCING GIRL is a story of court intrigues, romantic entanglements, and secret meetings as Noor and her best friend Amir try to help the princes they're falling for expose corrupt court officials with plans to seize the throne. Noor and Amir are close to having everything they've ever dreamed of...now all they need to do is survive.
