Ruqaiya's life has never belonged to her.
Trapped in a house where she is treated more like a servant than a daughter, she survives cruelty quietly-hoping, praying, enduring. While her stepsister Bilkisu dreams of becoming the wife of the powerful Prince Khalid, Ruqaiya wants nothing from royalty, palaces, or power.
But fate does not ask for permission.
One terrifying encounter changes everything.
One runaway horse.
One broken prince fighting for a throne that is rightfully his.
And one girl carrying pain so silently that even smiling hurts.
In a world of royal betrayal, family politics, jealousy, wealth, revenge, and hidden heartbreaks... Ruqaiya is about to become the center of a storm she never asked for.
