It is the searing month of June. The rebellion against the British has just begun and Awadh is up in flames. Hindus and Muslims have joined hands to overthrow the foreign rulers and set India free. Some Indian rulers have started to enter into alliances to fight the firangis, while others have thrown in their lot with the foreigners. Amid all this, Riyaz Khan, a young solider from the army of the Raja of Mahmudabad, saves a group of Britishers from fellow 'mutineers' and escorts them to the safety of Lucknow. In this group is Alice, who falls in love with Riyaz and eventually becomes an informer for the rebels.
The Break of Dawn, originally published in Urdu under the title Aghaaz-e-Sahr, is a thrilling page-turner and a reminder of a time when Indians of all classes and creeds came together to fight for the honour and freedom of their homeland.

Azmaish-e-Ishq
Heer Qureshi and Salaar Riaz have been best friends and next-door neighbors since they were in diapers. Life couldn't get any better for the pair when they both fall in love, but there's one problem: Salaar realizes he loves Heer while Heer's heart gets stolen by her very own Ranjha, Kamran Khan. Will it be too late for Salaar to confess his feelings? And what will happen when Heer's dreams are destroyed by the one she wove them with, Kamran? Two relationships are put to trial and hearts get broken by those we least expect. Which will prove more enduring in this azmaish-e-ishq, or test of love? Upon hearing the rustling nearing the window, Heer lifted her bridal lehenga and turned around, exclaiming with surprise, "Salaar?!" "Mat kar usse shaadi (Don't marry him.)." He stated, eyes wet and bloodshot. Her face scrunched up, "Kya? (What?)" "Mat kar. (Don't.)" "Lekin kyun?! (But why?!)" "Kyunki main- (Because I-)" 🎶"Sachi mohabbat shayad wahi hai jis mein junoon hai, par do dilon ki yaari mein bhi toh kitna sukoon hai."

Let Me Redeem [Completed]
"I trusted you," Mirha said in a voice barely above a whisper, trying her best to keep tears from falling down her cheeks, trying and failing. Hadi paused for an entire second. "Well, you shouldn't have. Not my fault," He spoke softly, evenly, his face pale and pinched as if trying to hold back emotions of his own. *** A best friend. A chase gone wrong. An empty promise. Out of control, unexpected run-ins. Out of control, unexpected feelings. And you've got a conundrum. Mirha Qadeer was a simple village girl new to the capital city. She felt like a fish out of water in her university but tried her best to fit in and study hard. She made a few mistakes along the way but she had never thought she would have to pay this high a price in return. Hadi Maher was not your nice, friendly guy next door, nor was he a ruthless bad boy. He was something else entirely. But whatever he was, Mirha Qadeer should never have been a part of it. But she somehow forced her way in, and now he has to make a choice, a choice that will take too much from him either way, a choice that's threatening to undo him. --- There are typos and some grammatical mistakes in the story. Will be editing soon.Complete

He leaned down, spitting out the next words menacingly. "And I never will." I tried to hold back the tears as his amber eyes blazed with anger. "O-okay." "Now, stay out of my fucking personal life or I won't hesitate to ruin yours." As he left, I broke down.
