RIFTED is a heart-wrenching tale of love, faith, and sacrifice, set against the backdrop of cultural and religious conflicts.  David, a devoted Christian, and Zaynab, a strong-willed Muslim girl, find themselves pulled to each other in an improbable love tale.  Their bond is immediate, but their backgrounds-shaped by their families, religions, and society-become insurmountable impediments. 

As their relationship blossoms, so does the strain.  The couple's increasing affection leads them to face with the weight of their different views.  While Zaynab is split between devotion to her family and the love she feels for David, he begins to question the fundamental roots of his faith.  Despite their attempts to bridge the divide between their worlds, the cultural and familial pressures increase, pulling them more apart. 

When their families uncover the relationship, the rift grows more agonizing and unavoidable.  Zaynab's father's rejection and David's community's disapproval only increase their emotional torment.  As their love becomes a secret they can no longer hide, each must confront the hard truth: sometimes love is not enough to overcome the limits of culture and religion. 

RIFTED is a stunning exploration of the ongoing battle between duty and desire.  The story unfolds with incredible intensity, revealing how love can be both a force of liberation and a source of heartbreak.  Ultimately, David and Zaynab's journey is a monument to the harsh reality that even the most powerful love can be undone by the worlds we are born into.

"A longing not her own, a sorrow centuries old, and a name she had never spoken-yet had always known." ----- Damian Cassius Gray was a man of honor, a warrior by blood, a king by birthright. But fate had made him a pawn. He had been betrayed by the woman he loved, branded a traitor, and cast into the shadows. In his grief, he became something else-something far more dangerous. Natalie Vivienne Deighton was never meant to be his, but she made him believe otherwise. She had been a fleeting dream, belonging to him in the night, and to another in the light, a cruel mirage-one he chased until it destroyed him. Love was her weapon, and deception was her game, and for that she died. ----- Betrayed by love, deceived by power, and robbed of his throne, Gray had then turned to the only force that could grant him justice-dark magic. He vowed that the lineage of the king who wronged him would be erased from history. And so, the kingdom fell to ruin, abandoned under the weight of his curse. But vengeance came at a cost, for in death, he was denied both peace and punishment. Immortality became his prison. ----- Sometimes, Primrose Lillian Thompson dreams of places she has never been, of a voice that calls her by a name she does not know, and of a sorrow that does not belong to her-yet clings to her soul like a shadow. She wakes up in the middle of the night with her cheeks wet, her throat sore, and her heart aching for a love she doesn't understand. A love that isn't hers. Or is it? ----- ◈ Weekly Updates ◈
