THE ALTERNATE MAHABHARAT
In the world where destiny is written in stars, two souls dared to write their own. The Mahabharat begins as we know it-but one change alters the course of history forever. Isha, the enigmatic twin sister of Krishna, born with a divine spark yet unaware of her celestial lineage, crosses paths with Karna, the abandoned son of Surya, on his journey to find a guru. Their paths cross in Gokul, and a bond is forged-first as friends, then as something deeper. Trained by gods, shielded by secrets, and united in a marriage hidden from the world, they rise to build Suryaprastha-a kingdom of justice and beauty, far from royal eyes. But duty has its price. Torn between family and love, dharma and desire, Karna and Isha must walk in shadow-even as war brews and the world watches another story unfold. An untold saga of love, loyalty, and rewriting fate-this is Mahabharat, retold from the silence between verses.Complete
THE TALE OF TRINITY ~ DWARPAR YUGA
In an age when kingdoms rose and burned under the weight of ambition, three men bound by loyalty and friendship. Duryodhana, the prince who refused to be a puppet of tradition, reshaped his empire with iron will and a heart that hid quiet storms. Karna, the outcast-king forged in fire, walked the line between honour and rebellion - a hero born of silence and wrath. Ashwatthama, the ansh of mahadeva carried both his father's curse and his own fierce love, standing torn between dharma and devotion. Together, they challenged gods and kings, rewriting the fate that others wrote for them. But when love, pride, and power entangled their paths, even friendship, their greatest strength was tested. "THE TALE OF TRINITY" is a sweeping reimagination of the Mahabharata, of war, of brotherhood. Of men who dared to love fiercely, fight righteously, and rule differently.
Jasmine Dreams
Bhanumati's tale spoken like a memoir to her children. To remind them that, despite what the world says, their father was a good man, somewhere in him, he was a good man. The forgotten queen of Mahabharatha. Duryodhana's wife. The tragedy of being the villain's love. ******** The world will call your father the villain, and I will not stop them. Let them. The stories are not false, and I have no wish to cleanse his sins with my tears. But this my children, I write this for you to know that the man Ved Vyaasa wrote of was not the man I loved. My life has been endlessly filled with jasmines, beautiful, fragrant and fated to wilt.

When The Fire Chooses Herself
A Note from the Author This story is a heartfelt tribute born out of reverence, imagination, and deep love for the timeless epic, the Mahabharata. It is not intended to harm or disrespect any tradition, belief, or cultural sentiment. I hold every character of this sacred epic in the highest regard, especially Draupadi, whom I deeply admire and spiritually revere. What you are about to read is not a retelling, but a "What if"-a reimagination woven from a place of devotion and curiosity. A world where roles shift, choices change, and destinies take new forms, but the soul of the story remains centered in Dharma, honor, and love. This universe is an extension of my admiration for Draupadi, placing her not in the shadows of fate but at the center of it-where her voice is heard, her choices are honored, and her journey reclaims power. This is not history, nor scripture-but a work of fiction inspired by mythology, shaped by emotion, and offered in respect. Enter this world with an open heart and see not just the characters you know, but what they could have been, in another life, another time, another turn of destiny. With love and respect, MioneComplete
