| 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. Not to forget, all of them have their lives hanging in the balance because an evil spirit has hitchhiked with them and is now roaming free, casting its menacing shadow, and biding its time to unleash hell.

I cannot speak of the horrors I have witnessed. These pages, stained with the shadows of forgotten horrors, bear witness to the unspeakable. Gensokyo, once a realm of fleeting peace, now festers in the suffocating grip of nightmares that I have been forced to record. I've witnessed the cursed halls of the vampire's mansion, where blood is both the currency of immortality and the price of madness. I've find myself beneath the haunting cherry blossoms, where death lingers with every petal that falls. I have seen the twisted nature of immortality, the wretched cruelty of time unyielding. I have saw evil, swallowing all that is pure and corrupts even the most sacred. And now, the land that we've thought to be immortal under the graceful barrier, had fallen apart as sinners walked the Earth above. May the gods save us all.
