Novel Synopsis

"Can a hand pull the trigger to save the heart it aims at? And can a farewell kiss be a healing poison, a protecting betrayal, and a death that grants life?" In the alleys of the "Jasmine Palace", nothing is as it seems. Everyone wears masks, but "Laila" masters wearing the devil's face with a brilliance that terrified the most hardened criminals. She was not just a "white snake" in the mafia's den, but the victim who decided to become an executioner so that her lover "Adam" would never see a dark day. She sold her purity in the auction of treachery, to buy him time where the bullets of betrayal could not reach him. As for "Adam", he returned from the bottom of hell holding the keys to the empire. He returned to shake the earth beneath the feet of the woman he thought had sold him for cheap gold. He did not know that every whip he raised against her whipped her soul first, and that every look of contempt he directed at her was a stab she received with a bare chest so that he could remain the "King" on the chessboard of death. Enter the "Jasmine Palace", where bullets sing, jasmine cries, and the truth is hidden behind a thousand and one corpses. Here.. love is not a word spoken, but blood shed in silence. Quotes from the novel: "You asked me one day with bitterness: 'How could you bear to kill me?'.. And now, as I stand amid the ruins of our palace, I want to scream in your face: 'I killed myself a thousand times with my own hands, just so death wouldn't dare approach you!'.. I was not your traitor, I was your grave hiding you from their arrows, so does the prisoner forgive his jailer if the prison is the only safe place?" — From the diaries of Captain Laila "You see hatred in my eyes, and I see betrayal in yours.. But what you don't realize, Laila, is that I burned the entire forest just to see your panic, while you were slowly burning yourself to give me light in my darkness. We are two shattered souls, who lost our way, so we met in the 'Jasmine Palace'.. not to love, but to finish what fate started with blood." — Adam El Menshawy
