Empire of Flames
In the holy lanes of Banaras, where the river hums secrets and fire never dies, two legacies are about to collide-wrapped in lies, loyalty, and blood.
Ashrit Malhotra is not your typical heir. Cold, brilliant, and ruthlessly efficient, he rules the corporate world like a machine-and the underworld like a ghost. With a past too broken to fix and nights spent battling insomnia, he's learned to survive without needing anyone. Until his life is shaken by a storm he never saw coming.
Rudrakshi Singhania, once the heart of Delhi's high society, is now the queen of Banaras' business battlefield. Left to protect her mother and sister after her father's mysterious death, she rises from tragedy-bubbly on the surface, but a force no one sees coming. What no one knows? She's already ruling the underworld...and she's ready to burn it down to find answers.
Their paths are set. Their families-best friends for decades-don't know that their children are standing on the edge of war. And somewhere in the shadows, the one man who knows the truth behind it all-Red Marvel-waits for the perfect moment to strike again.
Meanwhile, a new storm brews in the corridors of college.
Vihan Malhotra, the chill, golden boy with quiz trophies and basketball victories under his belt, doesn't know his world is about to be flipped. And Sanya Singhania, the sharp-witted artist with a vengeance in her heart, is ready to become the chaos he never expected.
Four lives. Two battles. One empire built on secrets, fire, and slow-burning desire.
Burning ambition. Unyielding rivalry. And a love too powerful to extinguish.
This isn't just a story of enemies becoming lovers.
This is war.
This is fate.
This is the Empire of Flames.
