An Alley of Love and Death: Meat for Meat

About the Book

An Alley of Love and Death
Born in an alley where survival costs more than dignity, Shabana is the daughter of a woman who dreams of breaking the cycle. Her mother fights the world to shield her from the shadows of their life, investing every hope into Shabana’s education—praying she might live the life her mother never could.
But fate is a cruel architect.
When a man enters Shabana’s life disguised as a savior, she mistakes his obsession for love. Behind his promises lie addiction, greed, and a calculated deception. Blinded by affection, Shabana runs toward a ""better life""—only to be sold into the very hell her mother sacrificed everything to prevent.
An Alley of Love and Death is a raw, heartbreaking tale of innocence destroyed and the realization that love, when poisoned, is deadlier than hate. In the end, justice arrives—not from society or the law—but from the same cruelty the villain believed he controlled.
Meat for Meat. It is more than a title; it is a final, bloody truth.
This book is for those who refuse to look away from uncomfortable realities and who believe that every sin leaves a mark—sometimes in blood.
