Silk & Ashes follows Aurora Méndez, a young woman burdened by a painful past, and Zira Veleno, the cold, powerful daughter of a man Aurora believes was responsible for her mother's death. Aurora earns a spot in the elite training program of Aurealis Airlines, hoping for a fresh start, only to discover that Zira is not only part of her past but now the CEO of the very company. Their reunion reopens old wounds and revives a deep, toxic tension between them. Through alternating perspectives, the story reveals their families' tragic entanglement: Aurora's mother and Zira's father shared a complicated, dangerous connection that ended in a mysterious plane crash killing them both. Aurora blames Zira's father; Zira blames Aurora's. Both carry grief, resentment, and unanswered questions. As Aurora is pulled deeper into Aurealis, she finds herself trapped by contracts, secrets, and Zira's controlling presence. Zira, for her part, is torn between her hatred, her need for answers about the past, and her unsettling pull toward Aurora. Meanwhile, Aurora struggles with anxiety, her mother's hidden notebook full of cryptic clues, and an unexpected attraction not only to Zira but also to a charming fellow trainee. These threads create a dangerous mix of obsession, rivalry, forbidden attraction, and mystery. At its heart, Silk & Ashes is a story of two women bound by tragedy, hate, and desire each trying to survive their shared history while uncovering truths that could destroy them both.

The Silver Anklet And The Red Dupatta (The Family Saga Series 1)

She lost her world at eight. He lost himself long before that. Fate just made sure they'd find each other again. They met when the world was still soft - before grief had names and love had rules. She was only eight when the world began to fall apart. Her father died on a stormy night, the kind where thunder felt like a warning. And just weeks later, her mother followed - quietly, as if the grief itself had taken her away. That night, Alina Raza learned how silence could sound louder than any storm. With her two-year-old brother, Rahil, clinging to her hand, she had to learn how to navigate a world that suddenly felt too big, too quiet. Her uncle and aunty took them in with love - their home became her shelter, their kindness her new beginning. Yet even in warmth, Alina carried the quiet ache of loss - and the strength of someone who grew up far too soon. Aarish Siddiqui was born into a world where dreams had no value. His heart beat for writing and music, but his father's legacy demanded power, not passion. At twenty, he was to be named CEO - a role that would strip him of the very self he tried to protect. To follow his dreams, Aarish must defy not just his enemies, but his own family. Two broken souls. Two worlds divided by fate. And yet - one fragile connection that time could never erase. Because before love finds its name, it begins as understanding. And before destiny unites, it must first break what it chooses to keep. My first series - a tale of family, where blood unites and loyalty divides. >
