She was meant to burn. He was never meant to save her. And yet... the fire began there. When Ahalya, the daughter of a courtesan, is married off to a man old enough to be her grandfather, her fate seems sealed - until he dies before he can touch her, and she is dragged to the funeral pyre to burn as a widow no one will miss. But just before the flames can claim her, a mysterious man steps out of the smoke and does the unthinkable: he marries her. In front of the gods. In front of the court. In front of everyone who would rather see her dead. He wears a crown. He whispers her name like a secret. And he refuses to tell her why he's really saving her. Now, as Ahalya enters a palace gilded in lies and drenched in politics, she must learn how to survive the very kingdom that wanted her erased. But the prince who saved her is hiding something-something that ties their pasts together in ways Meher is not ready to face. Because loving him could destroy them both. And in this kingdom, some truths are more dangerous than fire.
