Winner of Wattpad India's Judges choice Award for Mystery/ Thriller

That black leather bounded journal sitting on the last shelf of my grandfather's study had always intrigued me. An incomplete story, it always aroused more questions than answers. It was the journal of a Lord Thomas Fall....
1915 - When Lord Thomas Fall, a 21-years old British ICS recruit was dispatched to Imperial India( India under control of Britain) he knew what to expect- an 8-6 desk job, a comfortable mansion and occasional trips into the wilderness. What he did not expect was- political conspiracies, a failed assassination attempt, a Landlord's beautiful daughter who seems to have captured more than his attention and an exotic, doe-eyed rebel( a group struggling for India's independence) who turns up in the most unexpected of places. Add to this mix, rich spices of Indian culture, places out of travel catalogue and an infamous rebel brotherhood.

What happens when Love blooms in the most unexpected of places? Will this Romeo go against all social norms to get his Juliet or will things go awry?
 Let us know about it straight from Lord Fall's Journal.

"I never thought that it'll end like this."
"Who said that it is the end? It is just the beginning, my dear."

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

HIS QUEEN HER KING by tanishqwrite
41 parts Ongoing Mature
She was innocent-too innocent for a world like his. Or so he thought. She had lived a simple life, untouched by the blood-soaked world he ruled. A girl with dreams, warmth, and a heart that had never known cruelty. But fate was never kind, and in one ruthless moment, she was thrown into the hands of a man who thrived in the dark. He was a ghost, a king among criminals. Feared, respected, and merciless, his power stretched far beyond what most could imagine. He had seen countless people break under his rule-some begged, some fought, but all eventually submitted. But not her. She met his cold gaze with fire, refused to crumble beneath his threats. He thought she was afraid, that she despised him for taking away the life she once knew. He wanted her to hate him-it was easier that way. And yet, something about her didn't make sense. She adapted too quickly, learned too fast. The fear in her eyes began to fade, replaced by something else-something darker. The way she handled a gun, the way she looked at the chaos around her... it wasn't terror. It was fascination. Then, the truth hit him like a bullet. She wasn't just some innocent girl caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. She was born for this world. And worse-she was enjoying every second of it.
