Illusions of Fire

Illusions of Fire by Nisha Sharma is an urban fantasy and enemies-to-lovers romance that blends modern life with ancient Hindu mythology. Laila Bansal wakes up before dawn to train in hand-to-hand combat with her adopted aunts, who happen to be immortal demons sworn to protect her unique mythological bloodline. By all appearances, she leads a quiet, protected life while working at her family's vineyard in upstate New York. However, her peaceful routine completely shatters the moment a mysterious and deadly new archer named Karan arrives with a mission that targets her world. Karan carries deep ties to the legendary wars of the Mahabharata, initially mistaking Laila for an enemy rather than a companion. As dormant magic awakens and immortal forces begin to converge on their small town, Laila and Karan must navigate fierce tension and high-stakes survival. Blending fast-paced action with sharp wit and a slow-burn connection, this novel sets the stage for an explosive collision of destiny, gods, and monsters
