Book One of the Sarajevo SeriesThe Princess of Sarajevo
Lamija Begović enters every room like she owns it-because one day, she will. Heiress to Sarajevo's most powerful business empire, she's brilliant, untouchable, and raised to conquer. She doesn't ask for respect. She commands it.
Ayub Selimović grew up in her world, wearing the same suits, eating at the same table-but never truly belonging. After his father died driving for the Begović family, he was taken in as one of their own. He was never treated as less. But he always knew.
He's spent a decade in silence, building trust beside her brother. When he's suddenly reassigned to Lamija's team, she's forced to see what's always been there: a man of loyalty, quiet strength, and a heart that has never once strayed from hers.
Their story was never supposed to happen. But Sarajevo remembers everything-and the past always finds a way to rise.
Before the wolves, the sons, and the war-there was the princess...And the boy who waited to be seen.
I love my dad, the king. And I love my mom, the queen. They are so kind and full of love. They are good people. I know that they're good people. So why are all these people against them? Why are all these people saying such provocative things?

Once, people believed that there exists something of a rare ability. Something of the impossible.
But only the royalties have actually seen it. No person of an inferior position than them had the privilege of gazing upon the said miracle.
But for decades, the said miracle has gone missing. And whoever finds it would have honor never before bestowed on anyone.
But none have yet to succeed.
It cannot stand the heat of the sun. For it was one with the water. It can command any form of water, may it be the pond, the river and most especially the sea, to heal anyone who holds it if the need arises.
And in isolation, it was kept.
In cold, it survived.
And in heat, it shattered.
It was known as the 'heart of the sea'.
Hyacinth can only watch. Cursed with knowledge, the support of hundreds from her underground newspaper does nothing to make people understand, know, or ever truly believe. As Azdea could never avow the same sentiment, the unstoppable revolution shall either pass the test of time— or fall deep in disrepair for eternity. And what will be the price...
It has been a century since the world experienced a war. After the last war, the world was left in a state of destruction that made recovery impossible. Almost-- if it aren't for the people who revealed that they have special abilities.
Year 2119, the war had started again. And Reins must run or fight for their lives.
Betrayed by the people she trusted. Tortured and enslaved by the hands she once aided. Everything that kept her still sane was the desire to kill the one who did this to her. The one behind all this. All she needed was an opportunity and surely it was given to her. By him.
