He was born to rule; on land and high in the skies. She, it seemed, was born to reign over him. He had defied all odds in his life. She was hell-bent on deifying him. Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan's destiny had been written for him; to take over his family's ancestral seat as a feudal lord and live his life for the people. He'd altered destiny. A man of iron-clad principles, he'd silenced all who dared to question him by becoming Khan Murtasim Khan and Captain Khan simultaneously. He did his duty and indulged in his passion. Why did he have to choose one? He made the rules after all... Meerab Waqas Ahmed didn't like rules. Especially ones made to control her, or any woman for that matter. Out with the old, in with the 'whatever the hell I want to do' was the way it worked in Meerab's world. If this meant deifying family tradition to pave her own way in the world, then she was willing to pay the price for her independence. They say if you play with fire, you're bound to burn, but doesn't ice burn the warm-blooded too? Fire and ice went hand in hand, just like desire and destruction.

Dastaan
The desert heat of the 1960s Sindh province wrapped around Murtasim Khan like a second skin, a constant reminder of the unforgiving land that had bred him. His eyes, a piercing shade of brown, surveyed the horizon from atop his steadfast steed, as the beast's rhythmic breathing synced with the pulse of the parched earth beneath them. Murtasim's sharp features, carved by the relentless sun and a life of hardship, bore witness to countless battles and the weight of his people's hope. His lean, muscular frame was a canvas of dust and sweat, a silent declaration of his unwavering allegiance to the Shehsawar-e-Azadi, the rebels who called the desolate valleys their home. The valley sprawled below them, a stark contrast to the opulent palaces of the nawabs that dotted the landscape like gleaming jewels amidst the desert's poverty. His thoughts drifted to Meerab, the ethereal beauty whose name alone could stir the hearts of men and whose fate was bound to the very fabric of their feud. Engaged to Shahzeb, the union was a strategic move by her father, Altaf Ahmed, to strengthen the chains of oppression that held the peasants in check. What will happen when the paths of Murtasim, the fiery rebel, and Meerab, the jewel of the oppressive Nawab family, cross?
