Jake held out his hand. "Do you trust me?" he asked sweetly with a smile. I looked at him as my face softened. I glanced over the waterfall with uncertainty then back at him. So many thoughts circled in my mind. Fear, passion, and desire flooded my senses. But if there's anybody that could get me through this, it's him.

Kaalchakra: The Unremembered War
"Previously Titled 'Saga of the Timeless': Undergoing Major Revisions" Once, the Mahabharata failed. Ishanika has learned the art of surviving quietly. In a life shaped by neglect and lowered expectations, she no longer believes in God, destiny, or the idea that love is meant to last. The present is manageable that way-emotionally distant, painfully ordinary, and safely meaningless. Until time fractures. Pulled into another age-one ruled by honor, loyalty, and impossible choices-Ishani enters a world where silence is no longer protection and every decision demands consequence. Here, love is not gentle, friendship is not harmless, and doing the right thing comes at a cost no one escapes. As she is drawn into the lives of men bound by duty and war, Ishani finds herself standing between two truths: one that offers safety without change, and another that demands everything she has learned to withhold. Because some wars are never written into history. Some betrayals are born from structure, not cruelty. And some loves do not fail-they are simply never given the space to survive. Kaalchakra: The Unremembered War is a tragic, time-bending romance about dignity, sacrifice, and the quiet devastation of choosing to live honestly in a world that does not reward it.

(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book 😂!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024.
