~ Her Guardians of Shadow ~

Saisha is 12 years old, but her life in the orphanage has stripped her of a typical childhood. Her demeanor is carefully constructed-a stoic, reserved facade that acts as a shield against vulnerability. She moves with a quiet grace, her eyes holding a depth that belies her age. She rarely smiles, and her words are measured and to the point, creating an invisible wall between herself and the other children. This maturity is her survival mechanism, a defense built over years of not belonging. Beneath this hard-won shell, Saisha is still a child. She longs to run and play freely, to feel the unconditional love of a family, a world she has learned to hide so deep that she almost believes it no longer exists. Her world is turned upside down when she is adopted by the ex-rana sa of Rajasthan and Gujarat. She is whisked away from the drab, predictable life of the orphanage and plunged into the vibrant, opulent, and complex world of Indian royalty.
