Vivid - After The Grey
She wore silence like armour and mystery like a second skin. No one at Space Academy knew her name, her face, or her story - and she intended to keep it that way.
Nandini Murthy arrived in London carrying secrets buried deep enough to outlast everyone who might come looking. Then came five transfer students - heirs to empires, fluent in privilege - who decided she was the one mystery they couldn't leave unsolved.
What begins as a game becomes something none of them were prepared for. Because behind the hood is a girl who has spent years guarding truths that could shatter lives, searching for a family that was taken, and protecting people who don't know they need protecting.
When the past she's been outrunning finally catches up - in a hospital corridor, in a photograph she never let go of, in a name spoken without permission - everything changes. For all of them.
This is not a love story. It is a story about what love is made of - loyalty, sacrifice, truth, and the people you call for when there's no choice left about what you reach for.
