Amina Ammar, a girl driven by goals and fuel by ambition. Cold outside but warm inside. Not a girl you would call optimistic; rather, a girl who conceals her inner turmoil from the watchful eyes of the world. Her life has been shaped by unfortunate twists and turns, and adapting to a new life is never easy for her.
However, when Rayan enters the picture, what started as a path to change, turns into a whirlwind of secrets and love. Rayan Aarif heart is driven by a burning desire to reclaim what was taken from his family. He believed nothing would stand in his way of his quest, until Amina unexpectedly enters his life, gradually dismantling the barriers he had pitched. He sensed trouble, yet refused to acknowledge it until she stepped into his partially mended, broken heart.
Amina knew she was embarking on a complicated battle as she maneuvered her way into Rayan's world, attempting to extinguish the flames that consumed his heart.
Caught in a web of secrecy and longing, will Amina be able to save Rayan from his inner turmoil without her losing herself in the process? Will Rayan let go of the storm in his heart and allow Amina's shimmering light to spread through?
*Could you ever love a broken person?*
"I understand that you're broken," he said as he lifted her chin so she stared directly into his eyes. "But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time."
Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes.

It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone.
Not that she wanted to.
But now, with the sudden arrival of a strange man in her life, she finds herself thrown into the terrifying situation of having to relive it all. As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves.
Will she be able to survive it? Or will she be crushed underneath its weight?
