In the heart of Karachi, where the nights burn hotter than the days and justice is sold cheaper than life, one tragedy sets off a chain of events that the city will never forget.
Sania was a girl of quiet dreams - a simple life, a simple love, and a future she believed she deserved. But one moment of cruelty shatters everything. An acid attack steals her face, her confidence, and the life she once knew. As her skin burns, her dreams burn with it... and the world around her pretends nothing happened.
Ayaz, the man who loved her beyond reason, watches helplessly as the system fails her. The police protect the guilty. The courts delay the truth. Society whispers behind closed doors. And Karachi - a city built on smoke, fear, and broken promises - swallows her pain whole.
But Ayaz refuses to let her story die.
As Sania struggles to survive her scars, Ayaz begins to drown in his own. His grief turns into rage. His silence turns into violence. And his love transforms into a dark, unstoppable force. In a city ruled by corruption, Ayaz becomes the one thing Karachi never expected - a man who will burn the world to avenge the woman he couldn't save.
Burnt Dreams is a haunting crime-tragedy inspired by the real shadows of 1997-1999 Pakistan - a time when fear ruled the streets, acid crimes were ignored, and justice was a luxury only the powerful could afford. This novel blends raw emotion with gritty realism, exposing the brutality of human nature and the fire that rises inside those who have nothing left to lose.
It is a story of scars - the ones on the skin, and the ones buried deeper.
It is a story of love - the kind that survives even when the world doesn't.
It is a story of revenge - the kind that doesn't ask for permission.
When faces burn, dreams burn deeper.
