VEINS OF FIRE SERIES [Book 1]
"She isn't my weakness. She is the addiction I stopped trying to cure."
-Adhiraj Rathore
Adhiraj Rathore rules the shadows of Shimla as its most feared Mafia King, a man whose very name commands absolute terror and unwavering obedience. Harboring a deep, visceral hatred for love and betrayal, he has locked his heart behind impenetrable walls of ice, valuing power, discipline, and absolute control above all else. He is ruthless, unyielding, and fiercely protective of his domain, where stepping out of line brings down a devastating storm of absolute wrath.
Siya Mishra is a picture of pure innocence, gentleness, and grace. With a heart full of warmth and deep emotional depth, she looks at the world with a tender, kind perspective. She finds immense comfort in simple passions, especially losing herself in the pages of a good book or expressing her inner feelings through the gentle melody of singing songs. She is soft-spoken, deeply caring, and naturally sensitive. Beneath her delicate and fragile exterior lies a soulful inner strength-not a fierce fighter's defiance, but a quiet, graceful resilience rooted entirely in her purity, kindness, and genuine emotional depth.
Why did her father force her into this dangerous marriage?
What dark secrets are hidden behind the snowy mountains of Shimla?
And most importantly will a ruthless king with a frozen heart ever fall in love ?
