Book 2 in Crimson Crown series Pratha Touch. Claim. Defy. He wasn't born to follow rules. He was the kind of man who made them - and then broke them, just to see who'd dare stop him. In a world built on rituals and fear, Shamsher Dev Thakur roared like a lion. Defeating, yet never bowed. He wasn't from her village. He wasn't part of their traditions. But he was the only man who looked her in the eye... and didn't flinch. She was barely a whisper - a young girl, full of laughter one moment and wrapped in white the next. A bride one day. A widow the next. Left to rot in a corner, forgotten by fate, punished by a world that decided she had lived too much already. But he saw her. She was just... sitting. Still. Staring into nothing. It broke the heart of the man like him. But he made the most dangerous decision of his life: To go against a village that wasn't his. To claim a girl the world had already declared untouchable. To marry her. Not out of love. Not yet. But out of pure, ruthless defiance. This is not a love story. This is the beginning of a war. One man. One girl. And an entire society trying to tear them apart.

She was his brother's sister-in-law, gentle, heartbreakingly calm and everything he was forbidden to want. He was the man she was never meant to love, cold, quiet, and bound by duty and silence. Years later, fate brings them face-to-face again in a place where rules, guilt, and unspoken memories still breathe between them. When longing turns into desire, Tridha and Shaurya must choose either to surrender to the weight of family and expectations or risk everything for a love that was never meant to exist. {Slow updates}
