| 𝔉𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔢𝔡 x 3 | Book 1 in the FORTRESS series Spirits. Ghosts. Apparitions. Rudra Sharma doesn't believe in any of it. He has always been a Science buff. Majoring in Physics, hoping to become an IAS officer one day and solve the practical problems of the citizens, he is one of the last people to believe in anything paranormal, supernatural, or spooky. The only horror in his life stems from a bunch of strange nightmares he has of a warrior wielding a sword and riding a horse in the middle of an ancient fort. But those are only a bunch of random dreams. Nothing too serious for him to ponder over. He and his friends are optimistic about the absence of ghosts or spirits in their world. Hence, planning to spend a night at one of the most haunted places in India is nothing but an adventure for their young hearts. But when they reach the deserted town and visit the infamous fortress of Bhangarh, they are indeed forced to admit that there are... no ghosts. Lol! However, not everything is what it seems. People around Rudra seem to have secrets. His girlfriend does. His family does. His mother does. As one by one he and his friends begin experiencing the presence of the paranormal, a gruesome truth is revealed, tying his entire existence with the haunted fortress of Bhangarh.

| 𝔉𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔢𝔡 | Serialized Spotlight - AmbassadorsIN | Book 1 in the SURYAGARH ROYALS series. Suryagarh Fort. In the heart of the desert state of Rajasthan, a 900-year-old fort, a 500-year-old family feud, a 300-year-old portrait, and the thirty-year-old crowned prince await the presence of the enigmatic and enchanting woman who will be the key to breaking the curse. The same curse that the royal family of Suryagarh has been battling for over half a millennium now. The very same one that has the princesses of the lineage mysteriously dropping dead before coming of age. Shreya Awasthy is unaware of what secrets and lies have been crawling menacingly in every nook and cranny of Suryagarh Fort. She is a tourist; she doesn't give a damn. However, the more she tries distancing herself from the depths of darkness, the more she gets sucked into the treacherous web of mystery and magic in the town. The more she tries to stay away from the charming prince, the more she is drawn to his gentle heart and ruthless facade. As anecdotes about elixirs from the Himalayas, stories about a certain king who possessed a mighty sword, and fables of an erstwhile princess who looked like her fall on Shreya's ears, she knows Suryagarh Fort is not just a tourist destination for her. It's a town where magic runs deep and serial killing is the norm. An anomaly of nature that she is, she must help nature seek balance. No matter what the cost is. Cover Credits: @AmbassadorsIN
