"I'll never forget the day my parents died. For it was all my fault."
*UPDATES EVERY SATURDAY
-----
Times have returned and so does the world. Jasmin Phélès, an 19-year-old girl, who always blamed herself for her parent's tragic deaths from the night of a car crash nine years ago and never believed in true love. Given a rare opportunity to make things right, she was able to travel back in time with the use of her time magic. As she goes back in time, a series of unexpected events led her to meet Lucien who made her realise that true love is possible. Jasmin had to try- no matter what the cost or sacrifices is she had to make in order to change the fate and prevent her parent's death from happening in the first place.

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.
Destined Hearts
A single moment can change everything. A single plea can rewrite time. When Asvarin dies in a tragic accident, Chanthira is left shattered. Standing in the pouring rain, lightning crackling in the sky, she makes a desperate plea to the heavens-to turn back time, to give her a chance to stop this fate from ever happening. And when the thunder roars, time answers. She wakes up years in the past, in a world where Asvarin is still alive-a man who has yet to love her. But this time, she vows he never will. If he never falls for her, then maybe the accident will never happen. But Asvarin is just as infuriating, persistent, and impossible as she remembers, and no matter how hard she pushes him away, fate keeps pulling them closer. Their sharp-witted banter turns into stolen glances, and soon, she begins to wonder-is she rewriting fate, or is fate rewriting her? Watching over her is Varom, a cryptic old fortune teller who seems far too amused by her struggles. "Time is a funny thing," they say. "The more you run from it, the faster it catches you." Because what if changing fate means she will cease to exist in his life forever? And what if, no matter how hard she fights it... some people are simply meant to find each other?Complete

(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.
