In a world of illusions, only ashes hold the truth…
Mumbai... the city that sells dreams and buries nightmares.
Kavir Raichand was once its brightest star, until one night turned his life to ruin... his love stolen, his soul reduced to shadows. Now he drifts through the city as nothing but a ghost of the man he once was.
Then she appears....
Nivira Rathore... graceful, radiant, hiding wounds stitched too deep to see. To the world, she’s a rising star. To herself, she’s a seeker of truth... truth that could expose the darkness that destroyed the one she loved. And if it drags Kavir back into the flames, so be it.
Their first encounter ignites more than either expected.
“Hi. I’m Nivira.”
“Kavir,” he murmurs, his gaze too steady. “Have we met?”
A flicker, the faintest pause. “I don’t think so.”
But the lie hangs between them, sparking an electricity neither can deny.
Every glance feels like a challenge. Every word, a trap. Every silence, a storm. He can’t stop being pulled toward her, and she can’t escape the danger he carries. Secrets close in on them, blurring the line between love and destruction.
Because in Mumbai, the city of masks and mirages... falling in love is the deadliest illusion of all.
