In the ashes of a fallen kingdom, where empire and faith collide, an English officer and a veiled healer are drawn together by fate.
Captain Edmund Ashford, wounded and lost after a brutal campaign in colonial India, awakens under the care of a mysterious Muslim woman whose touch is both merciful and defiant. She calls herself a healer - yet behind her quiet grace lies a hidden fire.
Zuleikha Rahman lives in secrecy, tending to the wounded by day and commanding rebels by night. When she saves an enemy soldier, her world of shadows begins to unravel. Bound by honour, faith, and forbidden longing, they stand on opposite sides of a war that neither can truly escape.
Amid desert winds and whispered prayers, love becomes both sanctuary and peril - and each must decide what they are willing to sacrifice: their duty, their faith, or their hearts.

The Sovereign's Vengeance
What happens when love chooses fire over forgiveness? Stripped of titles, betrayed by blood, and cast out of the house that once echoed with her laughter, Pahel Ranawat walks away-not in defeat, but in defiance. She gave up her name, her power, and her career... all for the man her family swore was beneath her. Now, as she builds a new life brick by brick beside Yuvraj Rajvansh, the world watches-waiting for her to break, to crawl back, to regret. But regret is for the weak. And Pahel was never that. Yuvraj, once the outsider in her world, now becomes her world. The man who holds her broken pieces without asking for perfection, who silently carries the weight of her choices while building a future that honors them. Together, they burn quietly-ruthlessly-through a world that left no space for their kind of love. But the past is a cunning predator, and betrayal wears many masks. In a world where loyalty is currency and love is a weapon, not all enemies hide in the dark. Some sit across the dinner table. Some smile in family portraits. As secrets unravel and revenge walks in heels, will love be enough to keep them whole, or will the war to protect each other burn down everything they built together?![His Divine Love [ Edited Version ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/399498115-256-k937005.jpg)

Veil Of Truth Series (Book 1) "Amina, a devout niqabi Muslim and final-year medical student from India, has always held her faith close. She has come to London to complete her studies, but life takes a turn when she finds herself in an arranged marriage with Zayd, a wealthy Londoner. Zayd, however, is a name-only Muslim-disillusioned, detached, and burdened by the weight of his wealth and an embittered view of the world. Their marriage was orchestrated by Zayd's mother, who hopes Amina's piety will reignite her son's lost connection to faith. But Zayd resents the arrangement, convinced that Amina somehow manipulated his mother into this union. Now, under the same roof yet worlds apart, Amina and Zayd navigate the palpable tension between them. Will their forced bond soften their differences, or will it only widen the chasm in their hearts, leaving them further apart than ever before? A story of faith, conflict, and resilience, this tale explores whether two people from vastly different worlds can ever find common ground-or if destiny has a different path for them entirely."
