The Sand Of Tears - The Weaving Dune Series, #1

"We live for the people, but as we grow up, we find ourselves at the same time. That's a burden only we must face." Twenty years after the death of a beloved queen, the kingdom isolated itself from the world, shrouded in silence and mourning. One day, the royal family opened their doors once more, welcoming allies, enemies, and traitors alike. As dark forces grew within the castle, two siblings with different attitudes must confront an unforeseen evil. Prince Khalid, heir to the throne and firstborn of the great Sultan Murad, was forced to live up to the expectations of the people.
Entangled in a web of lies and secrets through marriage, he was thrust onto the throne after an unexpected tragedy. Determined to assert his own authority, he surrounds himself only with those he trusts, aiming to show the royal council his true strength. In the shadows of her family, Princess Aaliya remained quiet and obedient all her life. But when a soldier captured her heart, she sacrificed everything for love.
When the soldier was called to war, and news of his fate remained unknown, Aaliya began a secret investigation. A sudden conflict, however, forced her to leave the castle and her family behind. This is a tale of love, dark secrets, and fractured families who must unite to face common enemies and secure the future of their kingdom and bloodline.
