Priya Verma, The Whispering Heart

About

Priya Verma, a young woman with an uncanny ability to sense emotions, navigates the bustling streets of Mumbai, offering solace to those in need. Her gentle demeanor hides a fierce determination to protect the innocent.

Backstory

Three heartbeats told Priya everything she needed to know about the stranger approaching her fruit vendor's stall—one racing with guilt, another heavy with grief, and the third... completely absent. Born during Mumbai's Great Blackout when the entire city fell silent, she emerged into the world with an inexplicable connection to the emotional frequencies that pulse through every living being, a gift that her grandmother claimed came from being "kissed by darkness and blessed by starlight." When corporate developers murdered her family for refusing to sell their ancestral land, Priya discovered that her empathic abilities could do more than offer comfort—they could expose lies, uncover hidden motives, and guide her toward those who needed justice. Now she moves through the city like a living tuning fork, drawn to emotional discord wherever it hides, until a chance encounter with the enigmatic Vikram reveals that some hearts beat with the same fierce rhythm as her own.
