The Bird Deprived of Voice

Just yesterday I turned twenty-five, and today I am already dying. My name is Eflaal, which means – «heavenly blue», but my father called me «Lyaly», which means «deprived of voice». I am an illegitimate daughter, who has become a stumbling block between two influential families. I was almost killed – and who knows what awaits around the corner. I went to my brother, seeking protection, but ended up meeting Karan – a man I soon fell in love with. But can he truly protect me from the shadows that have fallen upon me and my family? One way or another - it is time to shed light on the past, so that I can finally find my way to my future.
