1910, Punjab. Noor, a spirited five-year-old girl, meets Arthur, a shy seven-year-old British boy. In the hidden corners of an old library, their unlikely friendship blossoms-two children lost in stories, unaware of the world that will one day tear them apart. For nine years, they steal moments together, bound by books, secrets, and a love neither fully understands.
1919, The Jallianwala Bagh massacre shatters everything. Noor's father is killed, and her world is drenched in grief and rage. Forced to flee Punjab, she disappears into the shadows, leaving behind the only friend she ever had.
Eight years later, fate brings them together once more-but they are no longer children. Noor has returned, but not as the girl Arthur once knew. He wears the uniform of the empire she despises. She carries the fire of a revolution he is sworn to suppress. Their love was never meant to survive the war between them.
