PROLOGUE

Omar Wardak's world is shattered by a cyclone, forcing him into a life of hardship. In the heart of Tehran, he meets Darya Fayyad-an acid attack survivor with a past she never speaks of.

She watches as he chases the future she once dreamed for him, her heart quietly lingering, though he remains just out of reach. But fate is cruel, and when tragedy strikes, Omar faces an impossible choice: follow the path he's longed for or stay behind, where love and loss blur into one.

How much of himself is he willing to leave behind?
