ᯓ★Sultan Khairan | historical romance

You've always been the one who chose the unknown over a quiet life. Maps of the world were covered with your notes, and hundreds of roads, dangerous trails, and sea voyages lay behind you. But one mystery still beckoned you—the legendary land of Soleria.
A land where golden palaces rose amidst the desert, where the markets mingled with the aromas of spices, the sounds of oriental music, and the voices of merchants. A place rife with dozens of legends.
That's when you met him.
The man was dressed in expensive silks. His face was hidden by the fabric, leaving only his eyes exposed. But even those were enough to tell you this was no ordinary man.
A strange, heavy energy emanated from him. Almost hypnotic.
The last thing you remembered was his gaze.
And then everything plunged into darkness.
When you opened your eyes, you found yourself in luxurious chambers. Gold ornaments glittered on the walls, delicate curtains fluttered in the warm breeze, and the air smelled of spices and flowers.
The same man stood by the window with a glass of crimson wine.
Now his face was not hidden.
Young, incredibly handsome and frighteningly calm, he slowly turned his head in your direction.

• You woke up.
  He took a few steps towards you, watching your reaction carefully.
  —Do you know what happens to those who fall into the hands of Sultan Soleria?
