"When justice becomes personal, love becomes dangerous."
Sneha, a bold final-year law student, has only one goal - to expose the underworld leaders hiding behind clean faces. Her latest report, The Shadow of Nightmares, is more than an academic project - it's her silent rebellion against the darkness that took everything from her.
But destiny takes a twisted turn when an invitation error brings the most feared mafia leader - a man no one dares to name - into the spotlight of a university event. While the administration scrambles to contain the fallout, Sneha unknowingly prints out the very face she's vowed to destroy.
This is not just a tale of crime and justice. This is a story of Rudraksh, the man behind the mask. To the world, he's a symbol of power, feared and followed. But to Sneha, he's the enemy of peace - until cracks begin to show. Between cold truths and hidden wounds, a forgotten love story flickers - one that neither time nor hatred could erase.
As two lives collide - one seeking justice, the other seeking redemption - secrets unravel, emotions flare, and a storm begins to brew. With danger closing in, and hearts at war, can love survive in the battlefield of shadows?
Rage. Romance. Regret. Redemption.

"H-How can be this p-possible ?" Valentina mumbled under her breath with wide watery eyes.
"I have already informed your biological father and he is coming to get you." The police officer continued, professionally.
"M-My f-father ?" Valentina whispered, lowly as she can't believe her ears. Her father who she knew from childhood died along with her mother few hours ago then who is this man who is coming to get her ? Her real father ? as the officer in front of her said so.
She is not a Smith.
She is a Moretti.
