Haunted by a love that never had a chance to begin, Armaan has buried the boy he used to be. But as their paths cross again, and the walls between them begin to blur, he faces a choice: keep running from the past... or risk everything for a second chance she doesn't even know he wants.
ICE & EMBER is a story of two hearts scarred by time. One forgotten past and a love quietly waiting to be remembered.
