Ljudi hvala na 4 followera, postavite pitanja i ja cu vam dati odgovore. Hvala
So I am reading this book released by an artist I really like and it's REALLY good! The way she writes characters and fantasy is just amazing and colorful!!
My favorite couple of 2025 has to be Serena Rose and Grim! (He's actually pretty cool and I think he's the grumpy guy that doesn't bore me? Like, I really love him!)
Anyways, it's only found on Amazon and I recommend it!
The name of the book is The Tales of Arcana Fortune by Hafsa Jawad!
The Lioness
She scoots closer to the big rock in front of her, carefully setting the flowers she’d picked on the flat slab on top and shifting so the sharper pebbles on the dusty ground don’t poke her too badly. Sunlight dimples in through the trees, circling around the area in a wide berth, still enough for it to feel like a barrier of sorts. Water from the creek runs steadily nearby, catching the light in her peripheral.
Allah!
The flash of ginger hair and the sudden appearance of another person in the vicinity has her lighting up more and shifting to her knees, smaller hands pressing into the warming rock like a table.
“Merula” tugs Her hair behind Her shoulders, striding right over to where the girl sits. She tilts Her head at her some before sitting across on the ground with the slightest lip twitch upward.
Hafsa. I assumed I would be early.
Hafsa Rafiq is still beaming, eyes alight. Though it does dim, just for a bit. One hand moves to tug at the fingers of the other as her hazel eyes shift to the side.
Sorry. I should have come later.
You came when you had time.
Merula nods, responding in fluent Arabic, for that was the language the girl spoke. Hafsa relaxes, grin softening and shoulders dropping. Her gaze moves down to the flowers, and Merula can see the excitement return near immediately. Hafsa gathers the bunch by the stems to present them to Her.
Jasmines. I can find different ones, though, if you want.
She looks between the girl and the flowers for a moment before Her right hand carefully plucks them from her grip.
These will do, young one. Thank you.
Hafsa straightens at the praise, grin returning full force. Merula resists the urge to roll Her eyes at the joy, merely sending the flowers off in a flurry of sparkles. Hafsa doesn’t bat an eye at it anymore, but She has enough sense to know the child is internally bouncing in place.
Allah? I…have a question. More than one, actually.
Merula glances around the spot they’re in. The creek babbles in a hum, She’s been gifted flowers for later, and the sun is high enough to endure a few hours of curiosity.
Well, then? Speak.
And our final party member, Hafsa. I'm going to leave several details secret for now, but I can state she's a sword dancer turned magic knight specializing in sand, stone, and metal. She's also got more baggage then a caravan. But her skills easily make up for that.
Hafsa is so good in this role... I can't wait to see more of the couple in the dizi. I hope she doesn't get canceled.
Finally finished the art piece I worked three days on! Wohooo!!
[REBLOGS APPRECIATED]
Family of Yavuz Sultan Selim.
Hanim Sultan maybe ws the same as Hatice Sultan but there was a Şehzade Sultan who was surely alive during Süleyman I’s late reign between 1555 November and 1556 November, since she is mentioned in Old Palace regiter with a daily stipend of 200 apsers. The same register also mentions her daughter, Ayşe with a daily stipend of 100 aspers.
The same register mentions an Esmehan with the same 100 asprs stipend, so she probably was one of Süleyman’s neices, probably the daughter of Şah-i Huban.
