ASHES OF A KINGDOM
About this audiobook
When Anirudh Malhotra’s business empire collapses overnight under the weight of a conspiracy, he is forced to disappear. Left behind is Shanaya Sehgal—the woman who has loved him since childhood. Trapped in a gilded cage by a powerful family with dark secrets, Shanaya makes a devastating sacrifice: she agrees to a marriage of convenience to protect the one thing that matters most—her unborn child, the son Anirudh never knew existed.
But some loves refuse to die.
Years later, Anirudh returns—not as the fugitive who vanished, but as a powerful king who has risen from the ashes. He has returned to reclaim what was stolen and uncover the truth behind his family’s destruction. As he unravels a web of corporate warfare and personal betrayal, he discovers that the woman he believed abandoned him has been fighting her own lonely war.
Ashes of a Kingdom is a journey of passion, revenge, and impossible choices. It is a story of two souls destined to find each other against impossible odds.
A kingdom may fall to ashes, but true love can rise from them.
