The Stranger Within is a story about the collision between identity and reality. At its heart is Mashal, a man burdened by the weight of his own existence, battling inner conflicts that threaten to consume him. This novel delves deep into the raw truths of human, it explores paradoxes that often lie within the simplest questions of life.

The stranger that arrives at Mashal's door isn't just another character; he's a reflection, an embodiment of the very essence of what Mashal has ignored, repressed, and feared for so long.  

This novel doesn't aim to offer easy answers. Instead, it explores the idea that true understanding requires embracing both the beauty and the suffering that life inevitably brings. It suggests that in every moment of darkness, there lies the possibility of awakening-if we're willing to shed the false layers we've built and confront the stark truth of who we are.

For Mashal, the stranger is not a savior or a destroyer; he is a guide. Together, they walk the path that leads beyond fear and falsehood. 

As you turn the pages of The Stranger Within, be prepared to question not only the protagonist's journey but also your own perceptions of reality, identity, and the subtle paradoxes of life.

What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet.

*COMPLETED* My head bowed in a heavy mannor, not in respect, but in trepidation. I discern his unwavering gaze over my ill silhouette. "Look at me." I opened my eyes, though it made no difference. Black is still black, all I am left with are my four senses. He will kill me if I don't look. He will kill me if I do. He will look into my sightless eyes and see my futile existence isn't worth living. He will kill me, and he will be doing the pack a justice by it. He growls a low, throaty snarl to warn me about disobeying an alpha. There will be consequences, we both know that. His lingering growls let me know he is not going to allow me to contravene his word. I steadily inch my head upwards, visibly shaking everywhere else. Maybe he won't notice my depthless eyes from across the gazebo. My life depends on it. "You're blind." ~ Monet was born into a particularly prestigious area of her wolf pack, to parents of extremely high standards. Her legacy is to become the packs next healer, but when she was born completely devoid of melanin, all her mated parents saw was a disappointment. Being born an albino wolf pup meant a lot for Monet, but it mostly meant her condition had taken her eyesight along with it. What happens when Monet meets the Alpha of a neighboring pack? Will he accept her for what she is? ~CONTENT WARNING~ This book contains depictions of physical abuse, foul language, and upsetting scenary.
