The Eco of Silent Letters (The Golden Cage #1)

During the age of warfare and riches, the world could not understand the bond shared between a brother and sister. They were brought up in an aristocrat family, which caused them to be privileged yet lonely at the same time. With all the chaos, they found solace in each other. When the brother was about to leave for war, they crossed a line that caused irreversible damage to their relationship.

Now, the sister has a burden to bear. She starts her new life and conceals her secret with the facade of a perfect life. As her wedding approaches, she discovers that her brother had sent her letters filled with love and longing. It was late for them to rekindle any of these feelings.

Years later her brother returned did not recognize his wife and child at first glance. But upon observing her child, he realized that he was the father. They masked their sentiments, but underneath it in truth, all those feelings had been buried in the past. Their choices slowly started to loom over, and they entered into a discord that was both unspoken yet firmly rooted.

Yet, secrets don’t remain hidden one hundred percent. His husband – a man of pride and influence began to suspect, yet he was no saint either. He, too, carried burdens of betrayal under his own roof with an affair of his own with a steppe highwayman’s wife. A steppe highwayman’s wife seeking revenge and exposing him set off a chain of infidelity, jealousy and murder which became an irreversible tragic event. Rated '5/5 - Explicit and plentiful' for steam/spice/heat level.
