At sixteen, Ruhi didn't choose her future, she was trained for it.
Handpicked by a classified Indian task force, she spent three years being shaped into something invisible, intelligent, and untraceable.
Not a fighter.
Not a spy.
A placement.
At nineteen, she enters a private college that looks flawless from the outside, festivals, rankings, smiling brochures.
Inside, it's the operational hub of India's largest human trafficking and international smuggling network and drug syndicate.
Her handler is Aditya Kapoor, 32, calculated, controlled, and the man who supervised her training from the very beginning.
The mission is precise.
No attachments.
No mistakes.
Then there's Vihaan, 21.
A final-year student.
Familiar.
Uncomplicated.
And dangerously human.
As Ruhi moves deeper into a world built on lies, the lines between cover and reality begin to blur.
Because the most dangerous part of an undercover mission isn't getting caught,
it's forgetting who you were before you were assigned.
