Throne of Ash and Gold

To the students at LSRA College, Avinash is just a quiet, broke waiter working at a campus eatery to get by. He is the perfect target for a rich bully's casual cruelty—someone easily broken, easily forgotten, and entirely beneath their notice.

But the campus golden children have no idea whose ground they are walking on.

Avinash is an alias. Underneath the threadbare clothes is Rudra Singh Rathore—the deposed, hyper-lethal heir to a terrifyingly vast corporate and shadow empire. Having walked away from a cutthroat family throne fueled by bloodline competition, all Rudra wants is a normal, peaceful life alongside a small circle of genuine friends.

But empires don't let their kings retire quietly.

When an enigmatic activation of hidden corporate shares triggers a chain reaction of assassinations, boardroom coups, and a state-level intelligence inquiry, Rudra's past slams violently into his present. Worse, the mastermind orchestrating the collapse from the shadows isn't an outside enemy—it’s his own brilliant, calculating older brother, a man who knows exactly how Rudra thinks.

As lethal ambushers, snipers, and corporate executioners close in on Lucknow, the faint, golden light dormant beneath Rudra's skin begins to ignite once more. To protect the friends who gave him a glimpse of an ordinary life, the king must stop running, call his allies, and reclaim a throne he never wanted.
