First Love is Overrated 

This summer these two broken souls discover if your second love can make you forget your first

 

Growing up, the Morelli brothers were close

Their kinship sinks deeper than the Titanic the summer they both fall for the same girl. Zakiah always felt Iliana Kaplan's heart belonged to him. All along, it has been their story, until fate removed the blindfold.

Everything falls apart when Zakiah realizes Iliana will never give him her whole heart. This time, the middle brother, Elijah, won't be able to repair the damage. A rift is torn amid all of them, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Two years later, when love comes knocking on his door, Zakiah strays from his motto. He can't pretend the connection he feels with Glory Glover isn't real. He just can't afford to fall victim to love again—already learned that lesson the hard way.

Life drops the other shoe. When his dad reveals who his betrothed is, there's no running from what fate has in store. Can your second love make you forget your first? Zakiah must decide if love only exists in fairytales. No matter what choice he makes, it won't be easy to find what's truly his to behold.

What happened in the spring might've made him forget his summertime dreams, but reality rarely has a silver lining.

Harbinger by Niah Bach Spotlight

 

BLURB: 

In Praetoria, the elite do not have any special talents. Then why is it the only imperial princess is having vision-like nightmares? These dreams foretell the destruction of her world and the death of her family, and every day they gain strength in their horror.

 The return of a particular imperial rook changes the tone of her dreams, providing her with much needed relief. But this too is perplexing, for he is a rook and she an elite. The law strictly forbids a union between the two.

 Yet four little female moiohs scheme to bring them together, providing the path to secure their future, a future threatened by traitors who would use the princess as a way to steal her father's throne.

EXCERPT:

While the morning star climbs steadily to its zenith, Princess Keira finds herself standing before the ancient, beautiful fountain at the focal point of her family’s private garden. As if seeking guidance, her troubled gaze restlessly traces the beautiful faces of the three stone maidens endlessly pouring water from richly carved urns into the basin at their feet. They stare sightlessly back at her, their tranquil expressions only increasing the agitation that had drawn her to the haven of the garden. 

Angry at their lack of assistance, she bares her teeth at them in a feral grimace. With an impatient swoosh of her dress she turns her back on them and makes her way toward the rear of the garden in search of anything to distract her from her disturbing thoughts. 

For six months the garden has offered the greatest solace from her worries. Since the sudden and unexplainable death of her beloved brother Drake, darkness and shadows have crept into her dreams, leaving her tired, worn and terrified to sleep. All around her seems foreign and strange, making her uncertain of every decision. Regrettably, the spectres from her nightmares have been gaining strength of late. So much so that they have begun to haunt her during her waking hours as well, to the point that even the garden’s serenity has begun to lose its power over dispelling the coldness within.

 She reaches her destination and, like a lost child, looks out through the gemsend dome that protects the garden. Beyond the cliff face that the garden rests upon, her gaze is drawn to the magnificent and turbulent Treyzar Ocean. To the north she notes a fierce gale brewing and, despite the brightness around her, a delicate shudder claims her. The growing storm’s fury and violence call to the darkness that shrouds her like a choking veil.

 As the heavens continue to darken and the storm’s bluish-black clouds relentlessly move closer, her breathing becomes harsh and rapid in the surrounding quiet. Riveted, she tracks the squall’s progress while fleeting images of destruction, death and unspeakable pain flit through her mind’s eye. With each passing impression the chill within her soul grows, drawing her deeper into her black melancholy.

"No two souls meet by accident"

Have you ever felt like you've missed someone you've never met? Like your soul is yearning to meet another soul that fate has destined for you to meet? As I tackle the challenges of everyday life I come to realization that there's a higher power guiding me to my soulmate. These love letters have become my anchor and devotion towards my soulmate though we've never locked eyes. Come on a journey of self- discovery, self- reflection, faith, destiny and hope. Unwind to my truth of what love, guidance and faithfulness means to me.

Read an Excerpt

“When we sleep our souls partially or temporarily leave our bodies. Sleep is a minor form of death, where the body is present, but the soul is elsewhere. Some people underestimate the significance of dreams by completely disregarding them, while others make too much of them and make every decision in their life based on a dream. Both the Quran and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, highlight that some dreams have symbols and meanings.”

The Prophet, peace be upon him, categorized dreams into three types:

1. A vision or true dream that is from God
2. A false dream which comes from the devil
3. A meaningless everyday dream which could come from one’s lower self or subconscious thoughts

I am someone who goes to sleep every night saying a prayer to protect me from the devil. At least I try, but when I do, I know that I either go to sleep dreaming from my subconscious or I go to sleep getting a dream from Allah. And it’s easy to decipher the two. As a pious Muslim woman, God is trying to tell us something when we get a dream from Him. For the past 5 years I’ve been dreaming, getting visions after praying for this soulmate of mine. Insha’Allah, because I’ve written a whole book about him, there are some parts where I thought I almost found the one, but I was foolishly blind. However, in the end something great came out of it. I’m a grateful person. I’m trying to stay positive through life because in Islam life is just a test, but the thing is we get lost chasing this dunya (life) We get lost chasing this life when it’s not worth anything. It sounds depressing, I know, but it’s the most beautiful religion I’m still living for. Alhamdulillah (praise be to God)
