His Silent Queen

Shivanya Gaur has spent her entire life learning how to disappear. Orphaned, young and raised by relatives who saw her as a burden to be managed rather than a girl to be loved, she has survived years of quiet cruelty by staying silent, staying small, and never expecting more than she's given.

Shivanya's path is just as difficult - every kindness she receives has to fight through a lifetime of conditioning that told her she didn't deserve any of it. Between them grows something neither expected: not a fairy tale, but a fragile, hard
