[Arabian Nights meets Atlantis]
She wants to save her family.
He wants to save his people.
After selling all of her belongings to survive, Alara has nothing-except a burn scar left by her unknown father and a sick mother she has to take care of. In order to survive, Alara steals and trades what she can. The only escape she has is when she closes her eyes and imagines a different life for herself.
Zayen has been raised to be a guard to the royal family, and has to protect his identity or be killed. Some would say that all of his worth is in his surname. He would say that his worth only comes from the good he can do for those who need it. But that's easier said then done in a world where the pure of heart get left behind.
When Alara and Zayen are forced to work together, they uncover a world that tried to stay hidden. Everything becomes possible, and none of it is safe.

In my shoes (Completed)
I really want to say that I cried because of how he humiliated me in front of the king. But no, I knew the truth. I liked him and somewhere deep down, I thought that there was a tiny chance he liked me too. That he was making me do all these things to keep me busy so, that he did not see me all the time because I was a distraction? I don't know really, but some part of me wanted to believe that there was a chance, even if it was small. But with what happened today, I knew that, that was a lie. He hated my guts. And that truth hurt. That was why I cried. XXXXX *started: 7th October 2020 * finished: 12th February 2021 I don't own any of these photos.

Bleeding love✅
He was supposed to ruin her life, he fell in love instead. They were once childhood friends-before fate tore them apart. Now he is Sultan Murad, ruler of an empire built on loyalty, blood, and silence. She is Princess Alina of Castile, a foreign royal promised to a political future she never chose. When tragedy forces their worlds to collide again, old memories ignite into new defiance. He has vowed to protect his dynasty. She has vowed to protect hers. Their reunion should have ended in distance. Instead, it awakens something far more dangerous-forbidden longing, buried loyalty, and a love neither of them is allowed to claim. Enemies by circumstance. Lovers by destiny. And in a world where betrayal is punished by death, even a single glance could cost them everything. {not based on the real history}Complete
