Bound by a past written in snow and separation, Kaiz Ismail Khan and Amrit Kaul find themselves tied together in a marriage he chose-one born out of violence, loss, and survival and love. In a land that was never hers, Amrit learns to live among strangers... until she finds a way to fight back. Secrets begin to weave themselves into her silence. Lies begin to take shape in his loyalty. And somewhere between duty and desire, the line between loyalty and protector begins to blur. Because when truth finally surfaces- It won't be love that destroys them. It will be the choices they make to protect it. And sometimes, the greatest betrayal... is the one that saves you.
