Finally living the life she always wanted which is.. to be a well known writer, everything is going well for her except for her non-existent love life....

Sixteen-year-old Chae-yeon has spent her whole life in the United States, until she learns that she has South Korean roots. Eager to discover her past, she moves to Korea, but everything is different – the language, the culture, the people. Though it’s tough, she’s determined to adapt.

Just as things start to feel normal, five new students join her class, including Kai, the leader of the hottest K-pop group, StarX. Kai, charming and confident, quickly becomes the center of attention, with everyone vying for his notice – except Chae-yeon. She couldn’t care less about him or his fame. She’s convinced he’s just another popular guy.

But to her surprise, Kai starts paying attention to her, and before long, he begins to get closer. As their lives become more intertwined, Chae-yeon’s world is flipped upside down once again. With secrets unraveling and unexpected twists, she’s pulled into a game she never saw coming.

Isabella, seventeen, grew up in a single-mother household, where fairy tales were her escape. She dreamed of a storybook romance — meeting her prince charming, getting married, and raising little princes and princesses in a grand castle.

William, eighteen, came from what appeared to be a "happy" family. But behind closed doors, he despised the very notion of love. He loathed how it blinded people, pulling them away from reality. To him, marriage was often a hollow commitment — a decision made out of obligation for the sake of children, or the reckless belief that youthful love could last forever.

When Isabella and William cross paths, they form an instant friendship. For a while, it’s enough. But soon, Isabella finds herself falling for the one person incapable of loving her back. Desperate to move on, she searches for love elsewhere. When that fails, she devises a plan — one that will either help her forget William or make him believe in the same kind of love she’s always dreamed of.

"You don't need to pretend, Zoya!" Logan shouted over the radio noise.

Zoya's heart ached as she tucked in her lips, wishing she could turn back time to when she was a teenager. She was baffled by how the only man she had ever loved could cause her such heartbreak, one that couldn't be diagnosed under an X-ray machine.

In the past ten years, Zoya had invested her time and emotions into the marriage, neglecting her own needs and desires.

Her parents had never supported her relationship with Logan, advising her to focus on her studies when she was just 16. But she had threatened to run away, using her status as an only child to force them to accept her early marriage.

After graduating high school, Logan convinced her to become a full-time housewife. Initially, the marriage was perfect, with Logan taking her on dates, shopping sprees, and vacations. He swept her off her feet, and she abandoned her plans for further education.

However, as Logan became a successful business tycoon, their time together became limited. Whenever she complained about his late nights, he would wrap his arms around her and give her a gentle squeeze, silencing her protests.

Now, Zoya felt a tiny bump in her stomach, followed by a sour pain, but she remained silent. "I can go on a three-month trip," she bargained, her voice discreet but frail.

Logan's response was a dirty smirk, and he leaned forward, staring deeply into her eyes. "My sweet pretensions, Zoya, I don't need you to think for me or go on a vacation."

Zoya felt rejection crawling into her shattered heart, wondering if their love boat had crashed long ago. She remembered her father's fury ten years ago, her mother's attempts to pacify him, and how her father had blocked all communications with her after the wedding.

"Can't you give us a try?" she asked, her voice sounding like a plea.

Logan's lips moved closer to her ears, his words barely audible. "Taste changes, people move on." He shrugged expressively, and Zoya saw his mouth move but couldn't hear properly due to her own emotional deafness.

She crawled on the floor, begging him not to end their marriage, desperate to save it. Logan stepped on her hands, grinding on them in circles, and Zoya swallowed the pain.

He stumbled back, spat on her injured hand, and threw divorce papers on her lap. "It's over, Zoya. Keep the house; I don't want to be stuck in the disgusting memories you've forced on me over the years. Sign that, and I'll have someone collect it in the morning."

With that, Logan turned and walked out of the house, leaving Zoya shattered and alone.

This story is a three-part narrative based on the real-life experiences of a young Indian man born and raised in the UAE. This semi-autobiographical journey spans over two decades, tracing the protagonist's emotional growth through three significant relationships, academic struggles, and his eventual return to the place where it all began.

The story draws from the author's personal experiences as a Keralite born in the UAE in 1999 and raised in the cultural intersection of Indian heritage and Middle Eastern surroundings. As readers follow his journey from Sharjah to Kerala and back again, they witness how unrequited feelings, missed opportunities, and personal failures ultimately lead to self-discovery and redemption.

For Readers:

- The narrative finds its way to a unique perspective of a third-culture child – born to Indian parents in the UAE, educated in an Indian school abroad, and later returning to his ancestral homeland for higher education.

Throughout the story, the protagonist struggles with communication and expressing his feelings, leading to unresolved relationships that haunt him throughout different phases of his life.

- The story is structured as a coming-of-age tale where romantic disappointments catalyse personal growth rather than endpoints.

- The setting shifts between the arid, modernized landscape of the UAE and the lush, traditional environment of Kerala, reflecting the protagonist's internal conflict between different aspects of his identity.

- While based on true events, certain elements have been fictionalized to enhance the narrative flow, and names and specific details have been altered to protect privacy.

"Dreams of Sand" ultimately speaks to anyone who has felt caught between worlds, struggled to find their voice, or learned that sometimes the most important relationship to develop is the one with oneself.

Journey into the spellbinding world of Tilsim Hoshruba, a realm divided into three enigmatic regions, each brimming with magic, danger, and untold stories. In Tilsim Zahir, mortals and sorcerers live side by side, while in Tilsim Batin, the elite sorcerers and nobles hold sway over ancient secrets. But beyond them lies Tilsim Zulumat, where only the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab and his kin—a witch, a sorceress, and other ancient beings—can tread. Here, the deadly Chamber of the Seven Awful Ones waits, hidden from mortal eyes but capable of unleashing destruction upon the entire realm.

In a land where gods such as Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are worshipped, an ancient prophecy foretells the coming of a son of Adam who will conquer Tilsim Hoshruba and bring an end to the tyranny of the Sorcerer Emperor Afrasiyab. Witches, warlocks, sorcerers, and sorceresses of royal blood and noble lineage vie for power within this enchanted realm, which stretches across vast kingdoms and mysterious lands.

Amidst this, beyond the borders of Tilsim Hoshruba, the legendary warrior Amir Hamzeh arrives in the kingdom of Koe Ateeq to confront Laqa, a self-proclaimed god who has taken refuge there. In an act of desperation, Laqa's advisor Bakhtiyar summons Afrasiyab's aid, leading the Sorcerer Emperor to send his arcane warrior Ejlaal to Laqa's side. But fate twists unexpectedly, and Ejlaal finds himself siding with Amir Hamzeh instead.

Meanwhile, Prince Badiuzzaman, the son of Amir Hamzeh, is captured by Queen Shararah, a sorceress queen of Tilsim Hoshruba, during a hunting expedition. Enraged, Amir Hamzeh resolves to invade Tilsim Hoshruba but learns through an ancient tome of Hamas that only his daughter's son, Prince Assad, can conquer the realm. With the trickster Umro Ayyar—Amir Hamzeh's childhood friend and master of disguise—by his side, Prince Assad sets out on a perilous quest to rescue Badiuzzaman and overthrow Afrasiyab.

As Umro Ayyar navigates the treacherous paths of Tilsim Hoshruba with his wit, trickery, and magical bag, Prince Assad faces danger head-on with the legendary Sword of Solomon. Yet, amidst these trials, fate brings him face-to-face with a mysterious figure whose deep blue eyes ignite a forbidden love—one that is as dangerous as it is irresistible.

In this first volume of an epic fantasy series, readers will be drawn into a world where ancient deities like Sameri, Laat, Mannat, and Jamshed are revered as gods, where magic is the fabric of reality, and where love, loyalty, and courage are tested against the forces of darkness. *The Legend of Tilsim Hoshruba* invites you to step into an enchanted realm where destinies are forged in the crucible of magic and adventure. Prepare to be captivated by a tale that will leave you yearning for more.

This series is a compilation of love letters I have written for my boyfriend over the past few months. I hope you enjoy it, and remember, someday, you'll find your "one" too. :)
