There was a saying Karikalan had heard once… The more you try to stay away from what you fear, the more the universe pushes it straight into your path.

Right now, that saying felt like a curse because the very next morning, everything changed. Mayuri’s security was doubled overnight but no one told her why. She didn’t know that a fragile line had been drawn around her life. She didn’t know that every breath she took was now being counted. And she certainly didn’t know that Karikalan had been permanently assigned as her personal bodyguard until her marriage… to the man whose strong jathagam could save her life.
