Ishani: The Ruin He Chose

Ishani Kukreja learned early that survival isn't about strength-it's about control.

Daughter of a ruthless former mafia boss, she grew up a princess of shadows: trained to fight, to shoot, to survive.

By the time she could make her own choices, there wasn't much left of her that resembled innocence.

She became a doctor to save lives, to protect those her family's dark world couldn't-but a few kills on her own name prove walking away isn't that simple.

Ishani exists in a world she neither trusts nor respects-until she meets a man who is the very definition of evil.

The problem?

Ishani doesn't flinch. She meets darkness with bravery, and that is far more dangerous than hiding from monsters.

Vayde Rao doesn't ask. He doesn't warn. He doesn't tell you to run-unless he plans to chase.

And Ishani?

She doesn't run. She fights.
