INK & EMBERS
Two rivals. Two powerful families. One love neither of them saw coming.
At Kingswell University, Anaya Shaikh and Ruhaan Mirza have three things in common-
They're brilliant.
They're ambitious.
And they absolutely cannot stand each other.
Academic rivals by day, they turn every classroom into a battlefield. Every argument becomes a challenge. Every challenge becomes a competition.
And neither of them is willing to lose.
But somewhere between stolen glances, heated arguments, accidental touches, and moments neither of them is supposed to remember... something changes.
Ruhaan falls first.
Both falls harder.
What begins as rivalry slowly becomes something far more dangerous-something neither of them can control.
Because behind their perfect university lives are secrets neither family wants exposed.
The Mirzas and the Shaikhs have a history.
A history built on power, betrayal, ambition... and a rivalry that was never truly over.
And when the truth finally comes to light, Ruhaan and Anaya will have to choose between the love they fought so hard to find and the families they've always belonged to.
Because some stories are written in ink.
Others are written in embers.
And theirs was never meant to burn this beautifully.
