A Romantic-Thriller | Suitable for: 16+ This story begins where another ends-with a death. Love doesn't bloom here in innocence; it ignites in the ashes of loss. Virat Singh Bedi, Ritu Singhania, and Heer Singhania are caught in a web of fate so twisted, it refuses to be unraveled.

Michael Sceptre and the Deathful Chess Games
A fantasy book about a young boy who goes on an adventure to discover his purpose in life after the mysterious death of his father. The story is inspired by the game of chess, and if I could make a comparison, it reads as if "Harry Potter starts playing Chess while in the Hunger Games," because it is a young adult dystopian book series with Michael Sceptre, the main character, who in the first series, reluctantly takes up the game of chess, to compete at the 20th annual chess games. The book has an interesting twist on the Hunger Games concept using the game of chess, the games are brutal, hence the title "deathful chess games!" The book is a treat for chess players and enthusiast alike around the world. The book has been written by myself, and I am an avid chess player and I wrote the book as a way to help get more young people into chess. I am working on the next book due out for the summer, and will soon secure a film deal for the book series to bring the magic of chess to the masses! Enjoy the first few chapters of the book...Complete
