Garden Of Thorns: In the garden of betrayals, only the thorns remember

Aria Maheshwari walked away from everything—her past as a undercover CBI officer, as the daughter of a powerful family, and the chaos of Delhi—seeking peace in a quiet town of Himachal Pradesh. But peace ends the day an envelope arrives from her best friend, Ruhani Roy, who has mysteriously disappeared. Inside the envelope—A letter informing her of Ruhani’s children and the danger looming above them — Ruhani’s photo with a stranger, behind it an address. At that location, Aria discovers a bloodied teenage girl named Vidya clutching two newborn twins. She claims Ruhani has been missing for five days after going to meet the lover she hadn’t seen in nearly a year. Following Ruhani’s last instructions, Vidya begs Aria for her help. Aria takes the twins under her care and begins to investigate. Her trail leads back to the Rajvanshi family—wealthy, powerful, and dangerous. Ruhani’s lover? Ahaan Rajvanshi, the only heir of the empire. Determined to protect the children and avenge her bestfriend, Aria agrees to a strategic marriage arranged by her parents, tying herself to the very man she intends to destroy. But the truth is far more twisted. The twins aren't his, but his hidden elder twin — Rudra's, a hidden weapon shaped by the Rajvanshi family's dark legacy. Ahaan is tormented by his brother’s disappearance, and Aria's arrival with the babies. There’s something familiar in Aria’s fierce protectiveness… something Rudra once described about the girl he loved in secret. As their reluctant partnership deepens, an undeniable attraction simmers—complicated by guilt, suspicion, and buried grief. Their fragile trust shatters when someone tries to kidnap the elder twin, triggering a confrontation that unearths secrets both have fought to keep hidden. As danger closes in and truths unravel, Aria and Ahaan must face their haunted pasts, forbidden emotions, and decide where their loyalties lie. In a world where love is treated as weakness and survival comes at a brutal cost, they’ll need more than truth to protect the innocent—they’ll need each other.
