The Price of Honour: A Thrilling Story about an Honour Killing (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781697351484)

A POWERFUL, GRITTY, AND DEEPLY EMOTIONAL THRILLER ABOUT FAMILY, CULTURE, SURVIVAL AND THE DEADLY PRICE OF HONOUR

The Rehman family celebrates the birth of a long-awaited son. But joy quickly turns to heartbreak when Begum, mother of six, dies suddenly from postpartum complications. Her five daughters are forced to grow up overnight, raising their newborn brother, Abdel, and living under the control of their strict, patriarchal father, Faizali, a traditional Pakistani Muslim who demands absolute obedience and honour.

Life becomes even harder when Faizali remarries. Their new stepmother's cold, pretentious presence turns the family home into a battleground. As the girls mourn their mother, they must learn to survive emotional neglect, cultural pressure, and the suffocating weight of expectations placed upon them.

Over the years, each daughter is pushed into an arranged marriage. Some adapt. Others endure. But Selena's fate is the most terrifying of all. Forced to marry a Manchester "businessman," she soon discovers he is a violent, drug-dealing alcoholic who beats her mercilessly. Trapped in an abusive marriage, Selena becomes desperate to escape, no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, Abdel, the cherished son, hides a truth that Faizali will never accept. As he embraces Western life and falls in love with another man, he risks everything. When he finally breaks free from his father's control, a dangerous question rises:

Who will pay the price of honour?
