In a world carved by sword and flame, five souls walk paths unseen by kings and conquerors, but their fates are no less entangled in the making of England.
Talitha, once a princess of East Anglia, was taken in a Viking raid and vanished from the world. After five years in captivity, she returns-changed, dangerous, and no longer the girl they buried in memory.
Sigurd, a Dane born of war, must choose between blood loyalty and a future that demands more than brute strength.
Aethel, a quiet healer with a fractured past, hides more than herbs and prayers-her hands can mend wounds, but her silence conceals darker truths.
Freida, a noble lady and confidante to Aethelflaed, walks the treacherous line between courtly grace and quiet rebellion, her heart torn between duty and defiance.
Edgar, a farmer's son swept into the fires of conflict, struggles to reconcile who he is with what he's being forged to become.
Five lives. Five paths.
One kingdom rising and another falling.
Their names may not be sung in songs, but their choices will shape the fate of nations.

✨️Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness✨️
She was once the princess of the Malik family-spoilt, rebellious, and fearless. Hemayal Mah-e-Noor Malik grew up in a world where limits didn't exist, where tantrums were forgiven, and mistakes were hidden. But one argument, one careless decision, and everything she knew shattered. At fifteen, she was sent away to boarding school, abandoned by the family she loved, misunderstood by the people who mattered most.
Now, four years later, Hemayal is called back home. Her grandparents miss her. Her siblings fear she hasn't changed. The cousins whisper, and the house that once adored her waits for the chaos she once brought.
But Hemayal is not the same girl who left. The years away have taught her lessons she never wanted to learn. The girl who once demanded the world has almost lost herself-and now she must face the family she left behind. Will they see the change in her, or will the past always define her?
A story of mistakes, loss, and the painful journey of growing up... of becoming someone you never thought you could.
