Christine, a classical dancer in a small city in India is out to seek revenge for her fathers murder from a ruthless Sultan who wants nothing more but to have her in his harem.

1. Chapter 1

Preface:

Christine swiftly made her way through the bazaar and hailed a rickshaw as she clutched a small case to her chest. Around her was the busting city she called home. Hundreds of people pushed their way through the streets in cars, rickshaws and bicycles on their way home from work. This, was the perfect time for a pickpocket to come and make his rounds. Christine was fully aware of this as she cautiously climbed into the car and whispered her destination to the driver. He noted her worried glance and swiftly made his way to her destination. Christine was afraid. After looking cautiously over her shoulder making sure that there was no one following her she settled back in her seat letting out a sigh. Lately she had been followed by a mysterious band of men, who were said to have been sent from the sultan himself. She of course was terrified and avoided them entirely. No one was as notorious in Johor as the Sultan himself. He was said to be young, mysterious, and ruthless, thus making him all the more terrifying. While in the rickshaw she bound her stubborn dark curls with a fresh newly bought ribbon and waited while the rickshaw driver drove her home.
