Slowborn Stories

Book 1 of Tales of Crimson Dynasty Calcutta, 1940s. A forced marriage. A rising rebellion. A love story that was never meant to exist. Edward Benticks-cold, arrogant, the Governor-General's son-is ordered to marry an Indian aristocrat to "secure the Empire." He hates the idea. He hates her. And he hates that he can't say no. Priyanshika Jadhav-fierce, proud, and born with rebellion in her veins-is pushed into marrying the very man whose people stole her country. She refuses to break. She refuses to bow. And she refuses to be his obedient bride. Two enemies. Two egos. One dangerous marriage that sparks a war of its own. When power clashes with pride... When hatred tangles with desire... When duty traps them under the same roof... Who bends first- the British officer raised to command, or the Indian woman who burns for her freedom? A thrilling collision of ego, rebellion, and forbidden tension- where every glance is a challenge, every silence is a battle, and every moment pulls them deeper into a storm neither of them can escape.

There are parts of herself she is not ready to face, obligations waiting beyond Japan, and a future already decided by forces far greater than her own will. As love collides with legacy, Avalisse must confront a devastating question: Can she truly claim her freedom, or will she remain bound to the suffocating control of the family that holds her fate?

Gabriel tiene cuarenta y dos años, un hijo que empieza a volar solo y una vida que, por primera vez, guarda silencio. Durante años fue madre, esposa, refugio y fortaleza. Aprendió a sostenerlo todo, incluso cuando nadie la sostenía a ella. Ahora, cuando el mundo ya no le exige tanto, surge una pregunta peligrosa, necesaria, inevitable: ¿y yo? Diez años atrás, recién divorciada y con un niño pequeño entre los brazos, hizo una promesa que no se atrevió a decir en voz alta. Algún día iría a Londres.
