Description


Beyond the reach of the modern world lies a kingdom no map can find.

Baladistan exists in the same world, beneath the same sky, and under the same passage of time, but it has remained hidden from humanity for centuries by an ancient miracle granted by Allah. Its people are human beings, just like those beyond its borders. Except they were given something ordinary humans were not.

Time.

While the outside world grows old and changes with every generation, the people of Baladistan can live for centuries.

Zayyan Farooqi left Baladistan six years ago. Now he has returned to a kingdom he no longer calls home and to the wife he doesn't even recognize.

Maryam stayed. She could tell him who she truly is, but instead, she lets him believe she's a stranger.

But what happens when circumstances force them to face their enemies together and keeping her identity hidden becomes harder than she ever imagined? Somewhere between danger, secrets, and an unexpected friendship, feelings begin to grow... feelings neither of them can explain.

Because in a world where people can live for centuries, the past has had a very long time to wait for its secrets to come back.
