The Ties That Tempt

When 16-year-old Roshni Sharbin is suddenly transferred to Silverline High School after her father's job relocation, she finds herself thrown into a world that feels more like a battlefield than a school. From navigating strict social hierarchies and academic pressure to dealing with cliques that see her as an outsider, Roshni's high school life becomes a daily challenge. But amidst the isolation and anxiety, she catches the attention of Dirar Malik-the popular, artistic boy with secrets of his own.

As Roshni struggles to find her place, she begins to uncover the hidden tensions beneath Silverline's polished surface: bullying masked as tradition, competition turned toxic, and friendships with invisible strings. Through it all, her bond with Dirar grows, offering her moments of solace and hope. But when a scandal threatens to tear the school-and their connection-apart, Roshni must decide who she wants to be: a girl who plays by the rules or one who fights to change them.

A story of resilience, growth, and first love, The Ties That Tempt explores the strength it takes to stand alone, and the courage it takes to stand together.
