Farah Al-Sharif, The Reluctant Heir

About

A crown prince torn between his royal duties and his heart's desire, Farah Al-Sharif finds himself drawn to a commoner, risking everything for a love that defies tradition.

Backstory

Three assassination attempts before his sixteenth birthday taught Farah Al-Sharif that the crown came with blood-soaked strings attached—strings pulled by his own uncle, the kingdom's revered war hero who believed only a "true warrior" should rule. Rather than cower behind palace walls, Farah began secretly training with the kingdom's elite shadow guard while simultaneously working as a humble tea merchant in the lower districts, using his dual existence to both hone his combat skills and understand his people's struggles. The commoner who eventually captures his heart is actually the daughter of a blacksmith who unknowingly forged the very blade used in the first attempt on his life, creating a connection that runs deeper than either of them realizes. Now Farah must choose between claiming his birthright through bloodshed or abandoning his throne to protect the woman who holds both his heart and the key to his survival.
