With scarred wrists and eyes that have seen too much, Sylvia Capote returns from an overseas sanatorium to the fire-scarred family estate in New England, determined to uncover the truth behind her mother's death.
Yet she finds her stepbrother, August, waiting for her at the scene of her mother's demise-part gentleman, part jailer.
She believed she came back only for vengeance-until he kisses her amidst the ruins, letting her taste blood and ashes. She plays the piano for him, the notes halting at the very measure he had taught her.
All that is certain is that now they have only each other, and this manor rebuilt upon sin.

Regular updates until they find life and death in each other amidst the ruins.

And then there is Rutvik. The boy who falls first, The boy who waits. The boy who looks at her as if she is every beautiful thing the world forgot to name.

His personal assistant stammered an apology, but Aarav was too enraged to listen. "You're fir-" he began, ready to fire him, but then the soft chime of Siya's payal reached his ears, cutting through his anger.
