ALA RASI #1 : bound by nikah

Kaiah Zai Ala-Rasi has long lived under the weight of her family's expectations: if she does not secure a husband by the age of 27, she is aware that one will be chosen for her. In contrast, Fahad Azis Hussain has been in a committed relationship for years, but his partner's differing faith presents an insurmountable obstacle in the eyes of his conservative family. When their parents orchestrate their union, Kaiah and Fahad find themselves bound to a marriage neither of them sought, constrained by tradition and torn by their own personal desires.

As they navigate the complexities of this unwilling partnership, both must reconcile their obligations to family, faith, and the aspirations they have kept hidden. Will they discover common ground amidst the turbulence, or will their hearts remain irrevocably divided?
