ARCADIA is called in, forcing two rivals to work side by side: 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐡𝐢 𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐭 - cold, brilliant, and hiding a trauma she refuses to touch. 𝐃𝐞𝐯 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 - sharp, infuriating, and far too protective of the one woman who swears she doesn't need him. He calls her love just to watch her break. She calls him Dev because anything more would be dangerous. But as they dig deeper, a disturbing truth starts to surface: these abductions aren't random. They're deliberate. Structured. Driven by a twisted interpretation of 𝐊𝐚̄𝐦𝐚 - the sin of desire. And when the pattern tightens around Aarohi, Dev feels the shift instantly-the air changing, the hunt turning personal. Someone is watching her. Someone is choosing her. And Dev would burn the world down before he lets desire claim her next. 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 1: 𝐊𝐀̄𝐌𝐀 - 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 Book 2 coming soon!
