Did Isla Reed just insult the nation’s famously aloof—and impossibly charming—crown prince? Oh yes, she did. And now the whole kingdom can’t stop talking about it. ___ Isla Reed never expected her bakery—and her life—to go viral overnight. All it took was one sarcastic remark about Crown Prince Dorian at a charity event, caught on camera and replayed across every screen in the kingdom. The nation laughs. The memes spread. And the prince? He’s not amused. Instead of ignoring the scandal, Dorian shows up at Isla’s bakery the next morning. What should have been a royal scolding turns into something far more complicated. He’s infuriating, arrogant, and far too curious about the woman who dared to bruise his ego. Isla wants him gone. Dorian seems determined to stay. Caught between the warmth of her flour-dusted world and the glittering chaos of the palace, Isla finds herself tangled in a romance she never asked for—one watched by millions, fueled by banter, and made dangerous by the fact that she’s falling for him. After all, insulting a prince is one thing. Loving him? That might be the biggest scandal of all. …. His eyes scanned the room like a hawk playing prince. And then, casually, "Before we begin, I'd like to raise a toast. To unexpected guests. To the bold and the brave. And to anyone who thinks calling me a 'talking haircut' on live television is a good career move." Gasps and laughter rippled through the crowd. Isla didn't blink. Instead, she reached for a glass from a nearby tray, held it up, and—without looking away—tipped it toward him. The crowd roared. Some in shock. Some in delight. Some couldn't believe she had the audacity. But she did.

As the sun sets over Nileswaram, Inspector Rajan Menon receives a chilling radio call: the infamous serial killer Ripper Chandru—believed to have vanished after fourteen ritualistic murders—is spotted near the Karinthalam railway crossing. Haunted by the brutality of Chandru’s killings and the eerie calm that always followed them, Rajan races toward the location, memories of blood-soaked crime scenes clawing at his mind. Each murder was a message: a mechanic with his skull shattered in precise blows, a couple found eyeless in bed with a cryptic phrase scrawled in grease—*“They were dreaming too loud.”* No clues. No patterns. Just silence and dread. Now, as Rajan approaches the tracks, the air thickens with fear. He sees a figure in a brown shirt, walking slowly, something heavy glinting in his hand. It’s not just a man—it’s a myth, a ghost, a nightmare made flesh. And Rajan knows: this night will not end quietly
