Queen of Ash

Mumbai’s underworld has one rule: women inherit the grief, never the throne. Zara Merchant is about to set that rule on fire. When her father’s body is pulled from the cold depths of the Arabian Sea, Zara is left with a glass empire built on secrets, a mountain of debt, and a target on her back. To survive the vultures circling her waterfront nightclub, Raakh, she needs more than nerve. She needs a monster. Enter Aleksei Volkov. The lethal, grey-eyed head of Mumbai’s Russian syndicate doesn’t do favors, and he certainly doesn't do loyalty. He’s a man of cold logic and sharp steel. But when Zara walks into his office—wearing her mother’s gold kadas like armor and her father’s fury in her eyes—Aleksei finds himself making a deal that defies every rule he lives by. The arrangement is simple: his muscle for her local connections. But as the humid Mumbai nights stretch into high-stakes negotiations and whispered threats in the back of armored cars, the "Ice King" begins to melt. Between the scent of jasmine and the smoke of burning bridges, a different kind of danger emerges. In a city that rewards the audacious and chews up the weak, trust is the ultimate sin. Aleksei is the liability she can't afford; Zara is the fire he never saw coming. They’re playing a game where the winner takes the city—and the loser ends up as ash. The deal is struck. The fuse is lit. In the city of shadows, power is her weapon, but he might just be her undoing.
