"They did not ask whether I was innocent.They only asked how soon I could be buried."
Captain Irfan Qureshi was once the pride of a nation, a decorated officer, a name spoken with honour and envy alike. Until one mission ended in blood, secrets, and the deaths of his own unit. Now the same country he bled for wants him condemned. Court-martialed. Forgotten. Buried alive beneath accusations he refuses to fight.
She was sent to break him.
Tejaswini Rao, brilliant military intelligence analyst, raised on discipline and patriotism, has spent her whole life believing traitors deserve no mercy. To her, Irfan should have been another file, another criminal, another enemy.
But monsters do not carry pain so quietly.
Monsters do not protect others while drowning themselves.
Monsters do not look like men who were destroyed for telling the truth.
As the trial deepens, so do the lies.
As hatred turns to obsession, obsession turns to love.
And love, in a world built on religion, rank, and revenge, is the most dangerous crime of all.
Around them, hearts begin to bleed in silence.
A loyal best friend who loves the same woman.
A sister who falls for the man who ruined her family.
A journalist learning too late that words can kill.
Families who would rather bury love than bless it.
When the verdict arrives, it will not destroy one life.
It will destroy all of them.
Because some prisons are made of iron.
And some are made of people.
