In a dynasty built on sons and legacy, Mirha Asfandyar Malik was born in silence-and sent away. Raised far from the Malik household, she grows up loved, whole, and untouched by the expectations of a name that once rejected her. When fate draws her back at fifteen, she returns not with questions or claims, but with a quiet grace that unsettles the family more than anger ever could. In a house full of men and memories, her presence becomes a reminder of what was lost-and what was acknowledged too late. She was never denied love. Only claimed slowly.

If you're reading this, then give me back my diary, you petty, spite-driven thief! There is nothing here that would interest you. This book only contains your usual utopian friend group, a school where they've never even heard of individuality, alcohol-of course, that's the fun part-jokes that wouldn't make you question the definition of said word, mutations for plot reasons, and my never-ceasing anxiety. If only all this would be enough to fill that bottomless hole I call my heart... UNDER CONSTRUCTION! I MEAN REWRITE!

☆"The kitchen floor was cold. Mahira sat with her back against the wall, her phone pressed to her left ear.Her eyes burned. Tears slipped down her face faster than she could wipe them away. Each breath felt wrong. Too fast. Too deep. Too difficult. As if someone had reached inside her chest and forgotten to leave enough air behind. The call rang once, Twice, Three times. Then it connected. "Hello?" Mahira opened her mouth. Her throat felt packed with stones. She tried again. Another breath. The sound of her own breathing echoed through the phone. "Mahira?" The voice on the other end sounded confused now. "Mahira, what's wrong?" The voice came from the other side. "Wait... are you... crying?" Concern at first. Then panic. "Paani pi bhai, sab theek ho jayega. Kya hua? Bata mujhe." Her hands wouldn't stop shaking. Mumma was asleep in her room. Her siblings were in theirs. The whole house was quiet. "Vo... vo..." She tried to speak. The words got stuck somewhere between her chest and her throat. "Bhai..." Another sob escaped before she could stop it. "Kaise bataun?" Because where was she supposed to start? Even if she told her the reason, she wouldn't understand. Not because she didn't care. Because there was too much. Too many things that had happened before this moment. Explaining it would mean answering a hundred questions. And mahira didn't have enough energy left for even one. "Bhai, paani pi pehle. Tension mat le. Main hoon." Mahira pushed herself up from the floor. Her knees nearly gave out beneath her. The room tilted for a second. She reached for the bottle on the counter. One sip. Then another. Then another." ☆ ✿Mahira used to believe lightning never struck the same place twice. Life disagreed. ~When It Happened Again~

A warrior princess. A diplomatic mission she was sent on as punishment. An empire that was not prepared for her. The Storm and the Sun is set in a world inspired by the Indian Ocean civilisation of the 3rd century CE - early Tamil dynasties, Persian trade networks, the Sangam literary tradition. It is not a historical novel. Dhruvika is the youngest daughter of Velanadu's philosopher-king, raised without distinction between sons and daughters: sword and scripture and state, all of it, for all of them. When she kills a corrupt priest to protect her sister's province, her father finds her guilty and removes her from the kingdom. Her punishment is a diplomatic mission to the Sun Dynasty - the most powerful empire in the subcontinent. She goes to negotiate a treaty. She ends up rearranging something considerably larger. A story about two kingdoms, two people who keep surprising each other, and what it means to build something that lasts.
