The Bride Beyond the Dunes

Made for the phone in your hand, The Bride Beyond the Dunes tells a contract marriage and romance story in portrait mode — no rotating, no black bars. There are 50 quick episodes, so the full series adds up to roughly 1 h 15 min — shorter than most feature films. Here is what the story is about.

After dying in a war, Princess Amara gets a second chance. She abandons the general who never loved her and marries Zahir, the feared King of Red Sand, in her sister’s place. As betrayal and rebellion threaten both kingdoms, Amara fights for the truth—and finds an unexpected love.
