[A short story] This is a fictional reimagining of colonial India under British rule. This story is set in British India in the years following the Revolt of 1857. While the backdrop is one of political unrest and colonial rule, the story is less about the freedom struggle itself and more about the survival of a young woman navigating a dangerous and uncertain world. I hope you enjoy reading it. This is my first time writing a novel, so parts of the story may be a little cheesy. Please don't be offended. Your views and interpretations may differ from mine, and that's completely fine. As this is a work of fiction, I hope you'll read it for the story and the characters rather than connect it directly to historical reality. If you have any opinions, suggestions, or feedback, please feel free to share them respectfully. I'd love to hear what you think.
