Somaiya Daud - Mirage - A perfect hasonmás

Eighteen-year-old Amani is a real dreamer. Although he lives under the rule of cruel Vath conquerors, he daydreams about old times and poetry. He expects to receive a divine sign, to have adventures and to see the world. But the adventure presents itself in a completely unexpected form. The militants of the oppressive power kidnap her one night and secretly take her to the royal palace, where she is shocked to discover that she is deceptively similar to the tyrannical half-vath princess, Maram. Among the subjugated people, the queen aroused such strong hatred that she needed a look-alike who would appear during public appearances and even accept death in her place. So Amani is forced into this new role, and despite the dangers, she is fascinated by the palace's beauty, but even more so by the princess's fiance, Prince Idris. But behind the splendor of the royal court lurks raw violence and fear. If Amani ever wants to see her family, she must perfect her role as the princess... one wrong move could mean her death.
