Description
Zayra was just a child when the fire took everything - her parents, her home, and her past. The trauma was too much for her young mind to bear, so it did the only thing it could: it forgot. Diagnosed with dissociative amnesia, she grew up in the cold halls of an orphanage, haunted by glimpses of a night her brain refused to recall. Now in college, Zayra hides her fractures behind a crafted mask - bold, sarcastic, unshakable. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Enter Avnil - enigmatic, cold, and dangerously captivating. He walks like a secret and speaks like he knows hers. He isn't just another student. He's a shadow from the fire she thought she'd left behind. And when he speaks, it's not with affection, but with an unsettling intimacy. He knows things she has no memory of. Things she didn't even know about herself. Drawn to him against her will and terrified by what he might reveal, Zayra finds herself trapped between two burning questions: Is Avnil connected to her past... or is he her past? And when the truth surfaces, will he resurrect the girl she once was - or finally burn her to ash?
