Starting fresh in the small town of Rampur was never Aditi's plan. She's stuck at a second-choice college, away from her friends and familiar comforts. But when she wanders into the nearby forest and encounters Ved-a mysterious, magnetic boy who seems woven into the very shadows-her world tilts.
Ved is charming but isolated, living under a dark curse that binds him to the forest's depths, preventing him from ever stepping beyond its borders. Aditi and Ved grow closer, and their connection becomes undeniable, each finding solace in the other. But the darkness holding Ved captive is powerful and relentless, and getting too close might pull Aditi into the shadows with him.
Determined to free Ved from the curse's cruel grip, Aditi risks everything. She must confront ancient secrets, twisted magic, and her own fears. Because to walk away now would mean losing the one person who has awakened her heart-and perhaps leaving him lost to darkness forever.
