Mahira Shergill is fifteen, quiet by nature and shaped by loss. She hides her grief behind sarcastic smiles and sassy comebacks, but deep inside, she hasn't healed from the day her father-an army officer-returned home in a coffin wrapped in the flag.
For years, it was just her and her mother, Mrunal. Two women holding each other up in a world that didn't give second chances.
Until Anant Arora.
He's calm, respectful, and kind-a man who has seen his own share of betrayal and heartbreak. When he proposes to Mrunal, Mahira surprises everyone, even herself, by supporting the marriage. She wants her mother to be happy. She wants to try.
But moving into the Arora household means more than just adjusting to two new stepbrothers-Hredhan, the quiet observer with hidden depth, and Hridansh, the hotheaded protector who doesn't trust easily.
Then strange things begin happening.
It starts small-missing objects, strange letters addressed to Mahira, a photo of her father with someone her mother refuses to talk about. Then, one night, she sees someone watching her from the woods beyond their house.Everyone tells her it's just her imagination. That she's struggling to adapt.But Mahira knows better.Because someone is trying to reach her. Someone who knows about her father's last mission. And someone who doesn't want the truth coming out.
As Mahira unravels the mystery, she'll be forced to question everything: her past, her father's death, and who she can trust in a house that feels more like a fortress than a home.
Her mother found love again.But Mahira is about to find something else.A secret worth killing for.
