About this listen
In the grand palace of Balkh, where power is absolute and tradition unyielding, Rabia bint Ka‘b—a noblewoman of striking intellect and beauty—dares to dream beyond the gilded cage of her birth. A gifted poetess, she weaves verses of love and longing, secretly pouring her heart onto parchment. But when her heart finds its true muse in Baktash, a captured Turkish warrior, their love becomes a crime punishable by death.
Baktash, once a slave in the palace, rises to power as a commander, his unwavering spirit earning the loyalty of the oppressed. Yet, his greatest battle is not on the battlefield—it is in the corridors of the palace, where his love for Rabia defies the rigid laws of blood and status. Their love is whispered in secret, hidden in poetry, yet burns brighter than the golden domes of Balkh.
But Haris, Rabia’s ruthless brother and ruler of Balkh, will not allow his sister to stain the family’s noble lineage. His paranoia grows as rebellion stirs, and his vengeance knows no bounds. As war erupts and fate tightens its grip, Rabia and Baktash must choose between their love and their lives.
Steeped in history, romance, and mysticism, Forbidden Love is a powerful saga of defiance and devotion, inspired by the tragic true story of Rabia Balkhi, Afghanistan’s legendary poetess. A tale of forbidden passion, spiritual awakening, and the unbreakable power of words, this novel will captivate readers who believe that some loves are destined to transcend time, even in death.
Will love conquer tyranny, or will fate demand its ultimate sacrifice?
