Banaras wakes with the clang of temple bells, the scent of marigolds, and the laughter of a twelve-year-old girl named Ruku. Mischievous, sharp-tongued, and fearless, she runs through the narrow lanes and fields with a spirit too wild for the world around her. But the world has rules. And for girls like Ruku, those rules come with chains. When the powerful Thakurs of Chandrapur set their eyes on her, Ruku's childhood begins to slip away. The daughter of a trader, she is pulled into a game of alliances, traditions, and expectations far beyond her years. Her laughter, once louder than the Ganga's tide, is slowly smothered by the weight of a destiny she never asked for. Ruku: The Last Mischief is the story of a flame too bright for her time, a girl who dared to question, to laugh, to love-and what happens when the world demands her silence.
