She was never meant to enter his world. He was never meant to need her. In a land where power is a battlefield and silence holds the deadliest secrets, Raunaksh Rajwar is a man carved from war and betrayal. Cold, ruthless, untouchable. But when she steps into his path-with fire in her eyes and a quiet defiance that unsettles him-something shifts. Meher Bhat was meant to walk away. She should have. But fate is cruel, and now she stands at the edge of a storm she cannot escape. A storm that has a name, a piercing gaze, and hands stained with both duty and desire. Between them stands a child-innocent, fragile, and unwanted by the world. A child who binds them in ways neither of them are ready to face. She is the one thing he should resist. He is the one man she should fear. Yet, the pull between them is undeniable-slow, intoxicating, and dangerous. And in a valley where shadows whisper and enemies lurk, the real question is: Who will survive the fire when the Chinars burn? "Between duty and desire, beneath burning Chinars, A soldier stands guard, his heart untouched, unclaimed. But in her eyes, in the silence of falling leaves, Lies the love he never knew he needed- And the home he never thought he'd find."
