In the dead of night, when the world sleeps, some secrets wake. Noor never imagined that a single decision would plunge her into a world where danger, passion, and dark forces collide. But the moment she crosses paths with Sultan, a man whose past is as shadowed as his soul, she is thrust into a web of power and deception from which there is no escape.

Drawn together by fate, their connection burns like a wildfire—but so does the darkness that threatens to tear them apart. Sultan’s family is bound by a curse that ties them to an ancient evil, a force that will stop at nothing to claim what is theirs. And Noor, the unwitting key to their destruction, must navigate a world where love and betrayal are intertwined, and every touch could either heal or destroy them.

With every secret uncovered, and every choice they make, Noor and Sultan’s love is tested beyond measure. Will they fall victim to the dark forces hunting them? Or will their love be the very thing that shatters the chains of the curse, freeing them both from the shadows?

"In the Arms of Darkness" is a gripping tale of forbidden love, ancient curses, and the unbreakable bond that could either save or doom them all. Can love survive in a world where nothing is as it seems?

In the Arms of Darkness

The new arrival moved with the quiet, lethal grace of someone used to commanding respect. His presence seemed to command the room, the air itself growing thick with the weight of his power. The men in the room froze, their eyes snapping to him as if they were mere pawns in the presence of a king.

Zayd, who had been struggling with the taller man, looked up in surprise. His breath caught when he saw the new figure.

"Liam," Zayd muttered, disbelief and relief in his voice. "What are you doing here?"

Liam's cold eyes scanned the room, taking in the situation in an instant. His gaze lingered on Noor for a moment, an unreadable expression crossing his face before he turned back to the men.

"Release her," Liam ordered, his voice commanding and final.

The men hesitated for a moment, clearly sizing him up, but then the taller man spoke, his tone dripping with contempt. "And who are you to give orders?"

Liam didn't answer directly. Instead, he stepped forward, his movements smooth and deliberate. He didn't need to say another word. He was a force in and of himself. His presence alone was enough to make the men back down, their confidence faltering under the weight of his authority.

With a final, threatening glance at Zayd, the men let go of Noor. She stumbled forward, her body shaking with the shock of everything that had just happened. Zayd rushed to her side, wrapping his arm around her to steady her.

"Are you alright?" Zayd asked, his voice rough with concern.

Noor nodded, but the fear in her eyes was evident. She had just experienced a glimpse into a world she couldn't have imagined, and it had nearly cost her everything.

Liam stepped forward, his gaze shifting between the three of them. "You're safe now," he said, his voice still calm, but there was an edge to it that made it clear he was not someone to be trifled with. "But you're not out of the woods yet."

Noor looked at him, still trying to process what had just happened. "Who are you? Why are they after me?"

Liam glanced at Zayd before answering. "I'm someone who owes a debt to your family. But that's not important right now. What matters is that they're not the only ones who want you. The people behind them—well, let's just say they're more dangerous than you can imagine. You're a target, Noor. And the only way to survive this is to trust Zayd and keep moving forward. There's no going back now."
