I'm here to give myself a pat on the back because, honestly, this story has been living rent-free in my head for the longest time.I kept telling myself, "I'll start tomorrow," but tomorrow turned into weeks, then months. Procrastination had me in a tight grip, but I finally decided—enough is enough. It was time to bring Sumaya and Marrok’s journey to life, and I couldn’t be happier that I took that step.To every reader who took the time to check out this novel, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.Your support means everything, and I truly hope you’ll stick around until the very end of Sumaya and Marrok’s journey. There’s so much more to come, and I can’t wait to share it all with you!
