A novel by Taksha Thakur I heard him before I ever saw him. Roz raat ko 11:40 ke aas paas, meri balcony ke saamne wali terrace se kisi ki awaaz aati thi. Kabhi old songs, kabhi random humming, aur kabhi bas guitar ki halki si tune. Pehle mujhe irritation hoti thi. Phir aadat. Aur phir... wait. Mujhe uska naam nahi pata tha. Maine uska face bhi properly kabhi nahi dekha tha. Bas ek silhouette, dark sky ke neeche, city lights ke beech baitha hua koi ladka. Lekin pata nahi kyun, uski awaaz meri life ka part ban gayi thi. Jab woh gaata tha, toh lagta tha sab thoda less lonely hai. Aur jab ek raat usne nahi gaya... tab pehli baar realize hua ki koi unknown person bhi important ban sakta hai. But the thing is- main usse nahi jaanti thi. At least mujhe aisa lagta tha. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki woh mujhe pehle se jaanta tha. Meri favorite songs. Meri window ki light kab off hoti hai. Mera terrace pe aana. Sab. Aur shayad woh gaane sirf gaane nahi the. Shayad woh mujhe notice karwana chahta tha. Maybe this whole time... I was listening to someone who already knew how to stay inside my head. Some people enter your life loudly. He entered mine through midnight songs, quiet nights, and feelings I never planned to feel. And before I knew it was him... I think I had already fallen in love. - Taksha Thakur

Eighteen years ago, a woman vanished with her newborn son. She left behind a powerful husband, three sons, and a criminal empire known only as The Shadows. Everyone believed she had abandoned her family. The truth was far more dangerous. Determined to save her youngest child from the life that consumed the rest of her family, she erased his identity and disappeared. For eighteen years, Noah lived an ordinary life. Then his mother died. Now strangers know his name. Powerful men are watching him. And a family he never knew existed has finally found him. Three brothers claim he belongs with them. The Shadows claim him as blood. And someone within the organization wants him dead before long-buried secrets come to light. As Noah is pulled into a world of loyalty, betrayal, and violence, he must uncover why his mother fled-and what she was trying so desperately to protect him from. But the deeper he digs, the more one question haunts him: Was his mother hiding him from The Shadows... Or hiding The Shadows from him? In a world built on secrets, trust is a luxury. And love may be the most dangerous secret of all.
