Beyond the Veils of Tradition
The dry winds of Kauyen Lafiya carried stories of women bound by tradition and silenced by fate.
Mariya's life had ended in agony - four days of labor without help, her body torn by crude hands, her dreams buried alongside her stillborn child.
Now her younger sister, Amina, stood at the same crossroads, refusing to surrender to a marriage that stole her freedom. Her defiance was met with cruelty. Traditional barbers were called, their blades leaving scars deeper than flesh.
As Amina sat in the dim silence of her hut, pain clinging to her body and heart, the future loomed like an endless desert - vast, uncertain, and merciless.
Would she heal? Could she find a voice beyond the veils of tradition? Or would her story end like Mariya's, lost in the dust of Kauyen Lafiya?

Invisible Me ✔️
Mariya...... In the depths of obscurity, a story unfolds. A tale of a girl who exists in the shadows, unseen and unheard. Her name is Mariya, a whisper in the wind, a faint echo in the silence. As I weave this narrative, I invite you to step into Mariya's world, a realm of perpetual twilight, where the lines between visibility and invisibility blur. At home, she's a ghostly presence, hovering on the periphery of her family's lives. Her parents, lost in their own worlds, barely acknowledge her existence. Her siblings, wrapped in their own cocoons, ignore her with practiced ease. In the halls of learning, Mariya haunts the shadows, unseen and unnoticed. Teachers glance over her, classmates brush past her, and friends... well, she has none. She's the quiet one, the invisible one, the one who disappears into the crowd. But what if I told you that Mariya's invisibility is more than just a feeling? What if I revealed that she's discovered a secret, a power that lets her fade into the shadows, to become one with the darkness? And what if I hinted that Mariya's not just invisible, but also waiting... waiting for the day when she'll be seen, heard, and understood? Waiting for the day when she'll emerge from the shadows and shine? That day is coming. And when it does, everything will change. Join me on this journey into the world of Mariya, where the invisible becomes visible, and the shadows come alive.

Married To A Tyrant [PREVIEW]
The sound of the shattering glass sent a chill down my spine, forcing me to withdraw deeper into the corner where I was tucked in. "Mansur, please stop. At least for Aaliyah's sake." I begged, the tears streaming down my cheeks. He swung around to face me, his eyes blazing with rage. "To hell with you and that bloody girl." he yelled. Do you hear me, Salma? To HELL with you and her. This is my house, and I can do whatever I want." he yelled, throwing the bottle at my dressing mirror. The glass shattered all over the room, the larger pieces landing on some of the bottles on the drawer beside the dressing mirror in which I kept my incense sticks. This caused them to shatter as well, the glass falling everywhere across the room. I could hear Aaliyah crying in the next room, but I could not go to her as Mansur was blocking the door. "You will learn your place today." he yelled, unbuckling his belt. I shut my eyes as the tears continued to flow, knowing all too well what came next. The first strike was always the one that hurt most.Complete

Mistaken Perception
Life can be brutal and uncaring to some. Aisha was one of those unfortunate "some" she had deceived herself into believing she had full control of her life.

Flawed Perfection
Backed by horrible life experiences, Aisha Ahmad Makama has reasons to believe men only complicate things. Consequently, she dedicates her life to painting, wearing floor-length jilbabs and cultivating a hard-earned reputation for not receiving second glances from men. That is, until a single greeting on a Wednesday afternoon shatters her carefully-crafted life. Aisha is forced to confront the unsettling presence of Abdullah Umar Kallamu, a man who carelessly breaks her reputation by daring to dart a second glance in her direction, making a promise to never see her again. It isn't hard to hate Aisha at first sight- she is insane, messy, uncouth, not his type, and unlike all the women Abdullah Umar Kallamu had ever met. Abdullah is also not a challenge to dismiss. He is egotistical, the kind of man who easily receives attention from dumb women- the kind Aisha Ahmad Makama has never been a part of. Both Abdullah Umar Kallamu and Aisha Ahmad Makama are prepared to be sworn enemies. But life upends expectation. They find themselves falling in love. Ironically, for the very same reasons they initially hated each other.
