It's impossible to rule without enemies. Some say, if you don't have enemies then you're doing something wrong. But enemies mean treason, it means trouble for the crown. 

What does a kingdom do to prevent treason? Double their security? Invoke fear? Hide? 

No, they use decoys to protect their treasure. The crown. Their princess. The only heir to the throne. 
But how long until that stops working for them? What will happen when treason finds its way?

He's the ruler whose brow is laid in thorn, smeared with oil like David's boy. Malik is put well together and never lets his mask fall. Emotions aren't his specialty, and the ones he has, he conceals behind a content mask, that only his inner circle gets to witness. He wears his pride like his crown and holds his head high. Malik is machine-made, and doesn't let his emotions control his better judgment. All of which evaporates when he lays eyes on his fiancΓ©. But what happens when the world he's so familiar with comes crashing down right before his eyes and he's bound to marry a stranger, having to make up for his absent father's mess, again? π€πŒπ€ππˆ ππ€πƒπˆπ‘ is the princess of a small island in the middle of the north African sea. Her father has always been her entire world, and watching her old man kicking the bucket soon, has taken a toll on Amani. Not having her mother's support, due to her passing, she faces the kingdom she is to rule sooner than later, with a mask on her face, as she conceals her true feelings; despair. Amani has always been a sucker for the rules, finding a sense of comfort behind the lines she knows better than to cross. Said lines would be falling in love with any man. But her comfort escapes her body, along with her breath when she learns about her engagement to the man who's an outsider in her world. A foreigner. A businessman from the states, who possesses a British accent. Son of the Libyan foreign minister. With her hands tied to a stranger's she finds herself alone in a world she knows all too well. Both of them are strangers, but will they surprise each other? .

"In a land of enemies and betrayal, only the strongest can survive." BOOK ONE OF THE 'QUEENS AND PAWNS' SERIES »»-----γ€€β™”γ€€-----«« A story can begin when the balance between protagonist and antagonist is tipped, and even the most noble flinch away from chivalry. It can begin when spies lurk in every nook and cranny while people's loyalties grow frailer, or when enemies murmur among each other with rumours of an impending war. The story has already begun when the rightful king of the South is cast from his throne by a usurper and forced into exile. It has begun when people take up arms and call for war in his name. It has already begun when trust proves scarce, especially as the East and West remain unresponsive against it all; when even the most oblivious can sense the beginnings of a war emerging on the horizon. The story can turn down another path when King Lucian of the North refuses to acknowledge the notion of war. He knows that if war truly began, his attempts at peace amid the massacre would be futile. While he remains trapped in a cage of denial, an enemy in the shadows starts to don armour. »»-----γ€€β™”γ€€-----«« Credits to @km_sandoval for the cover RUNNER UP FOR THE CREATIVITY AWARDS 2019 FIRST PLACE IN THE PAPER AWARDS 2020 FIRST PLACE IN THE BELLES LETTRES AWARDS 2020 JOINT FIRST PLACE IN THE BUTTERFLY AWARDS 2020 WINNER IN THE PASSION AWARDS 2020
