Whispers of the Tea Leaves
A tale of forbidden love, rebellion, and the scent of freedom in 19th-century Assam.
When Emily Davenport, a British woman raised in privilege, steps into the lush green plantations of Assam, she expects order and civility. What she finds instead is a world cracking under the weight of colonial cruelty. Amidst the tea bushes, she meets Rajveer-a native plantation worker with fire in his heart and rebellion in his soul.
Their love is as dangerous as it is undeniable.
As the East India Company tightens its grip and resistance brews in the shadows, Emily and Rajveer are swept into a tide of uprising, sacrifice, and hope. From moonlit escapes and whispered revolutions to the battle for dignity and land, their story becomes a war cry for freedom.
Will love survive when the empire strikes back?
