[Best Fantasy Story Winner at Fiction Awards 2016] In a world where everyone can use magic, Kiel is a non-mage - until he makes a deal that would change his life forever. A deal that ultimately pulls him into a web of lies, ancient riddles, and fatal secrets, where one wrong step could bring his untimely demise. Blurb In a world where everyone can use magic, where treasure hunters, alchemists, and warlocks are common professions, and where mage duels are the most popular form of entertainment, Kiel is a non-mage-a person who doesn't have the aptitude to use magic on regular basis - until he meets Elaru-a spell breaker of mysterious origin, wielder of the fabled 'Aethernea of Sight' - eyes that can see magic, who claims she can give him the power to become the greatest mage world of Halnea has ever seen. Coerced into binding his soul to hers, Kiel finds himself pulled into a web of secrets, where one wrong step could end in his untimely demise. Who, or what is Elaru Wayvin really? What is her relation to the ruling 15 noble mage families? What is the source of The Ink - a mysterious plague spreading through the continent? What is the Aetherneal bond between them and what has it turned them into? What is the truth behind gods and divine magic? Why has the third race of Halnea-the Ascended, mysteriously disappeared, and what is the connection between the remaining two races? In the search for truth, Kiel and Elaru enroll at the most prestigious University of Magic. Yet, between awkward social events, falling in love, thrilling competitions, blood curling battles, irritating peers, and damnable love rivals, there is little time for studying. And as if avoiding sinister plots from all sides wasn't difficult enough, their new detestable mentor takes them on a voyage into the uncharted forbidden zone filled with unspeakable secrets, ancient riddles, man-eating monsters, and deadly traps. A quest that just might end up changing the fate of the entire world.

(Undergoing heavy editing.) You are on a tour to the most beautiful state of India- Rajasthan. Pretty excited, you start the tour visiting many sites. But what happens when you step into the Bhangarh Fort? The Haunted Bhangarh Fort. A historical site that is marked as one of the ten most Haunted places in India. No one is allowed to step into that place before Sunrise and after Sunset, as an order by the Indian government. This tragic and horrific story is about two youngsters. Nandini and Nikhil, who visit this fort as an adventure tour but end up getting caught in the clutches of an evil spirit. Nandini's past somehow is linked to that of the Fort. Read on and find out to know if Nandini can free herself and fight that evil force along with Nikhil. Please see: This is not a real story. Please please see: Prefer staying away if you're a grammar Nazi and are not capable of giving constructive criticism. The initial chapters were written with a rather immature narration. It improves as the story progresses. But STILL, if you want to read a better piece of this book, you can start, when it undergoes heavy editing. :) Highest rank #1 in horror.
