Devika is no ordinary recluse. Seductive, sharp, and in control of everything around her especially the delicate Meher, a barefoot girl whose innocence hides a growing unrest. As Riaan is pulled deeper into the labyrinth of the Haveli, he uncovers more than what he came to photograph: obsession, possession, and a past soaked in betrayal.
Between candlelit glances, forbidden touches, and rooms that remember too much, Riaan must choose escape the house and its ghosts, or surrender to the dangerous heat behind her eyes.
