They say some wars are fought on borders. Others, inside the heart. For Advika, the olive-green uniform was not just a dream- it was her identity. Years of discipline, sweat, bruised knees and a fierce wish to prove herself. She wanted to serve the nation, to prove something to herself, to her father and to the world that she is capable..... even if that meant choosing duty over love. For Advay, the army was home. A man carved from responsibility, shaped by loss, hardened by war. He didn't believe in distractions-especially not in the form of a girl with fire in her eyes and courage louder than her voice.

In a world where one order could change lives, where love was a luxury and heartbreak a routine- their lives were about to collide. Some would fall. Some would rise. And some... would learn that the bravest battles are never fought with guns.
