All the characters stated in the story are products of the author's imagination. Any resemblance with people alive or dead, places, or incidents is completely coincidental.

Contents such as violence, drug abuse, self-harm, torture, gore, intimate scenes, slangs, etc. have been portrayed here which some readers may find triggering.

The references used by the author are entirely for the development of characters with no personal vendetta and therefore no intention of hurting the feelings of any definite person, people, religion, race, caste or community.

While reading, readers will find some parts written in Italic. Those parts signify what the person in question was thinking at the moment.

This story is a spin-off of the mystery-thriller 'As the Knight Falls' but can be read as a mystery-romance stand-alone story as well.

These are the facts from 'As the Knight Falls' that are better if known but completely okay if not since they will be introduced in due time anyways:

📎The story takes place in an era after the Great War, also known as WWIII.

📎After the war, the world got divided into 3 regions namely-

📍Annexa, the poorest of the regions.

📍Harlin, the richest of them.

📍and Kremlin is staggering somewhere in between and this is where the plot takes place.

They'll all be introduced in due time. So there's nothing to worry. Just sit back, grab your popcorn ( here
🍿🍿🍿 ) and enjoy the ride.

This book is still in its first draft form. Hence it's wayyyyyy away from being perfect. So if you see any typo, do know the keyboard was having a mood swing smh (ㆁωㆁ)

*Author takes the mike:

PS: Ok. So here's what happened. To fix it up to that  charming aesthetic level of perfection where not a single comma is out of spot, I ran the whole story (so far) through Grammerly and man! Were I wrong! It has horribly misplaced my punctuations, tenses and capitalization at such places where my inner Sherlock has failed me multiple times and left my body T-T

While I do plan on conjuring up Agatha Christie for help after surviving the exams, please mind where you land your eyes. Might get poked by those error pirates.

And of course, pointing out the correction would be a life saver (人 •͈ᴗ•͈) Mine and Agatha's. I mean, come on! You wouldn't want these two old ladies to be working so hard, would ya?

On genuine not, hope you read it and if you enjoy it, don't forget to vote and comment. It means a lot to me when those little stars twinkle⭐✨
