"Man is by nature a political animal, and the one who is without a city is either a beast or a god."- Aristotle
Two centuries ago, the Covenant was forged in blood to bridge the ruins of the Great Collapse. Now, the Aethel-a shimmering city of glass and gold-demands a selection from the Seven Sectors below. Every year, fourteen children are reaped from the dust. They are stripped of their names and anointed with a lethal title: The Heirs.
For Raven Ash, born in the suffocating gray of Cineris, the selection was a whisper of death she never wanted to hear.
The game is rigged. The throne is waiting. And the price of victory is everything.
Will she break the system? Or will the system break her?

𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 ✦ Beneath Her Silence, Secrets Burn ✦
🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope. Hope that terrifies her as much as her past ever did. Because secrets don't stay buried forever. Sometimes they rise exactly when you start to heal. And Aria's past carries shadows that don't loosen their grip easily. Guarded Heart is a story of slow-burning romance, emotional unraveling, and the quiet bravery it takes to let love in when you've learned to fear it. Some hearts hide because they've been hurt. Some hearts protect because they care. And some hearts... collide so intensely, the world around them shifts. 💞 Slow Burn × Emotional Healing 🔥 Enemies to Lovers 🫶 Brother's Best Friend 🌸 Found Family & Fierce Friendships 📖 School Life

Shravya: The step sister of ranawats
At sixteen, she used to be loud, bubbly, and a little chaotic. Now she's quiet, calm... and painfully distant. When home turns into something she has to escape from, she runs - carrying nothing but silent scars and a heart that forgot how to trust. Fate leads her to a house filled with six brothers - six different personalities, six different storms. Loud, protective, annoying, caring... everything she isn't used to. She doesn't want attachment. She doesn't want love. She just wants peace. But sometimes healing comes disguised as chaos. And sometimes, six brothers are enough to teach a broken girl how to smile again.
