Ashes of Innocence

Rajgarh, two families have spent generations drawing lines in the sand with the blood of their enemies. In this desert empire, power is the only currency, and survival demands ruthlessness. Trust is a myth, alliances are transient, and absolutely no one is pure.

The world looks at Chhavi and sees a sheltered princess of the Rathore clan. They look at her soft smile and the cute dimple on her cheek, assuming she is a fragile piece of glass meant to be protected.

They couldn't be more wrong.

Her innocence is a beautifully crafted illusion. Beneath the heavy silk of her traditional attire, Chhavi hides a sharp, lethal dagger. Her sweetness isn't a vulnerability it is her weapon of choice. She has been waiting, watching, and learning exactly where to strike.

But even the sharpest blades can falter.

When she crosses paths with the heir of the rival house, the hatred between their bloodlines burns white-hot. He is everything she was taught to destroy. Yet, in a brutal twist of fate, Chhavi is the one who falls first. She falls hard, consumed by a forbidden, dangerous passion for the very man she should be putting a blade through.

They cross the untouchable line. Enemies become lovers in the dark, sharing a secret peace away from the raging war of their families.

But in Rajgarh, love is a weakness that the universe refuses to forgive. A devastating betrayal fractures their fragile truce, ripping them apart and turning her newfound devotion into an icy, unyielding fury.

He thought he knew the sweet, dimpled girl who loved him. Now, he will have to face the monster he created.

They went from blood enemies, to forbidden lovers... and now, they are returning to the battlefield as the most ruthless enemies Rajgarh has ever seen.
