FAULT LINES
Shiuli Singhania has spent her life perfecting the art of being safe. Haunted by the ghost of her mother's scandalous past, she has meticulously constructed a future that is uncomplicated, sterile, and secure. She is days away from marrying Siddharth Goenka-a man who speaks the language of logic, not love. It's the perfect life.
Until a storm diverts her to Kolkata.
Stranded in the city that destroyed their lives, Shiuli makes a reckless choice: to step off the path of safety and into the chaos, determined to find the truth about the woman everyone wants her to forget.
Abhik Roy was supposed to be an architect. He was supposed to build skyscrapers and futures. Instead, he is a prisoner, blacklisted by a corrupt system and forced to watch his dreams gather dust in a crumbling room. To the world, he is a failure. To survive, he becomes an actor-posing as a successful guide to hide his reality.
When Shiuli hires Abhik to navigate the labyrinth of Kolkata, two carefully constructed facades collide.
She is looking for a ghost. He is running from one.
As they peel back the layers of the city-from the decaying colonial mansions of Kolkata to the dark, hidden alleys-they uncover secrets that threaten to shatter everything they know. But the most dangerous discovery isn't about the past. It's about the terrifying, undeniable fault line opening up between them.
In a world where safety is the ultimate currency, how much is the truth worth? And when the ground finally shakes, who will be left standing?
A haunting tale of love, duty, and the crushing weight of the promises we keep.
