Barefoot on Ashes. Book One

The daughter of an Arab sheikh has no right to make a mistake, but I made one – I fell in love with my best friend and gave him my innocence. I believed – Neit and I were destined to be together, naively thinking that my father would allow me to choose my future husband. “- You will marry after university, Alicia. To Amiran al Makhtum – the heir of Anmar.” Amiran: “- Oaths of loyalty, the first wedding night, your innocence, and our future children – all of this already belongs to me, Alice.” “- No, I don’t want to.” Back then, I didn’t know that for Amiran al Makhtum, there is no other will but his own. By answering “no”, I signed a death warrant for myself, my family, and Neit.
