We Were Never There: A Family Reckoning at First Light

By Prashant Mishra

Rohan Sen is a 23-year-old law intern in the bone-dry silence of Kutch, surviving on careful routines and a friendship he let die rather than ask the wrong questions. When he discovers a rental agreement signed in his own handwriting under a name that is not his, the careful life he has built begins to crack from the inside. A missing person, a sequence of unclaimed courier parcels, and a colleague who may be lying to protect the very person Rohan is hunting pull every trusted relationship into doubt. In a town where the desert swallows secrets whole, Rohan learns that solving the mystery means confessing something far more dangerous than the crime he is trying to expose.
