Twelve years ago, Aanya Kale vanished without a trace. No note. No scream. No sign of struggle.
The town of Taarmukhi forgot her. Her family buried her memory. And Aarav Kale, her supposed cousin and only real friend, left it all behind-haunted by a girl who might never have existed at all.
But now he's back. And things aren't right.
Whispers follow him. Shadows linger too long. And when he sees a figure in the woods-barefoot, dripping, watching-he knows: Aanya is closer than ever.
As Aarav digs into the past, he unearths secrets the town was desperate to keep buried. What really happened to Aanya? Why did the Kale family take her in? And why does it feel like something-or someone-is pulling him back into a story that never ended?
She vanished without a trace.
But some ghosts don't stay gone.
And some disappearances were never meant to be solved.
