Shivika Kulkarni is fire and you don't play with fire. Orphaned at 5, her parents died in a car crash and she was raised by her paternal uncle and his family. Her uncle loved her just like his own daughter but her aunt and cousin would barely stand her and to be honest, that one feeling was mutual. They were too shallow for their own good. As a child, she used to stick to herself and did not have many friends but one, Imran Mirza who was her neighbor back in Kolkata. Going to law school was her dream because her parents were both lawyers and she always looked up to them even if she didn't get the chance to know them. Her dream did come true and she is a lawyer with a multinational law firm based in Mumbai and lives in a flat there which her parents left for her. Devansh Rajput loves to play with fire. Being the eldest son of the king and queen of Udaipur, he is the one who handles all the family business. Trailblazer by actions but a romantic by heart, he believes in love.

His best friend and confidante is his younger sister Misha whom he loves to death and she is the one who understands him the most.

Aaravi has always lived life on her own terms-quiet, independent, enjoying her own Prescence, careful not to get too close to anyone. Connections, attachments, long-term ties... none of it appeals to her but randomly meeting stranger has never been a problem. She's content in her world of routines--paints, files, books, sketches, events and the company of her brothers. And then, out of no-where, someone appears who is strangely like her. Similar names to similar habits. A flicker of familiarity, a mirror of habits and choices, leaving her unsettled-and curious. That encounter is enough to stir something she didn't know existed, that is enough for something to vanish which she expected will stay with her throughout the life, making her question parts of herself she had carefully kept hidden. But life has a way of pulling her into a world she never imagined she'd be a part of. A world that demands more than she ever thought she could bear. Where choices carry consequences far beyond herself, and shadows linger behind every corner. What happens when suddenly she realises all the life she led was a lie? All the life she made wasn't hers? Can she let warmth into a life she's always kept carefully distant? What will she do when she has always avoided people, but now will be surrounded by one or the other all the time?? What happens when the world she's kept at a distance suddenly demands everything from her? Will she be able to handle a life far bigger-and far darker-than the one she knows and the one she is used to? And when shadows begin to stir, will she rise to meet them... or fall? Some shadows wait patiently... for the girl who never thought she'd belong. And when the shadows stir, will she be ready? Crowns of Shadows.
