1857. India simmers under British rule, but Sarika Mishra’s world burns for a different reason.
Promised to another, stolen in silence, and hidden beneath the weight of a secret marriage, 18-year-old Sarika is thrust into the dark heart of a colonial world she was never meant to survive. Her beauty draws eyes. Her spirit draws punishment. And her silence becomes her shield — until one man dares to unravel her.
Julian Rhodos — a 26-year-old British officer — is every bit the empire: cold, commanding, and ruthless. He doesn’t believe in love. He believes in control. But when Sarika is offered as a bargain to spare her family, what begins as dominance turns into obsession... and something far more dangerous.
Two enemies. One forbidden bond.
And a war that rages far beyond the battlefield — in stolen glances, broken vows
