Sarajevo remembers everything.
The blood that built the empire.
The ghosts that haunt the halls.
The love stories that began before the people in them even had names.
Lamija Begović was born to lead—the firebrand daughter with steel in her spine and her father's legacy clenched in her fist.
Ayub Selimović was not. An orphan who grew up in her house, at her table, in her world—but never quite of it.
Behind them stands Imran Begović—the firstborn, the golden son, carrying the empire's weight like it's stitched into his bones.
Elsewhere in the city, Talha walks like a shadow—silent, sharp, forged in the violence he's never escaped. Tarik, his younger brother, laughs too loud and lives too fast, trying to outrun the same ghosts.
Amina is wildfire—bright, chaotic, and dangerous in her joy.
Adem is her mirror—quiet, grounding, the one who watches everything and feels too much.
They're twins. They love hard. And Sarajevo has never known what to do with them.
Above them all, in the house that built this world, stand Zehira and Husein—matriarch and kingmaker, watching the children they raised become something stronger—and far more dangerous—than they ever expected.
This is where it begins.
Before the wolves and the sons.
Before the fire and the light.
Before everything breaks—
There was the princess...
And the boy who stood quietly beside her, waiting to be seen.
Welcome to Sarajevo.
Where everyone's in love with the wrong person, no one goes to therapy, and the family legacy is definitely cursed.
We've got:
✔️ A daughter with a diamond spine
✔️ An orphan with a loyalty complex
✔️ A firstborn son who hasn't breathed right since 2006
✔️ Twins with too many feelings
✔️ One emotionally unstable street legend
✔️ And a boy who copes by being loud and hot
This is only Book One.
If you think this is intense, just wait.
Pick your favorite while you still can.
They all break eventually. :)
