Having just gained independence, India was still in the phase of collecting herself when a cycle of long drought hit her newly framed state of Rajasthan. The two-year-long drought in the deserts of Thar depleted the ages old oasis near a small hamlet, revealing something unheard-of before, to the eyes of the world.  
In such times, Manasvi and Yoshini, two seemingly simple girls with not so simple lives, were learning to fight their own demons. Trying to comprehend their 'skill sets' while still hiding them from the prying eyes of the uninitiated, the girls were but lost; lost in the labyrinth that their powers created for them.
But when the excavation of the oasis bed unleashed something dark on their very land, would they stay as mere spectators? Would they let the world witness what they were hiding over the years? 


A forgotten hero and his apprentice, a psychic and a lathi (a long, wooden stick) wielding octogenarian woman struggling against the shadows of their past and fighting their way through their own troubles, gear up to face the ominous danger obscuring the present of their land. Would they get lost in the sands with the sands of the time or would they emerge as the warriors - the lost warriors of the sands?

Adil-e-Chand, the ashes of desire by authornavwrites
16 parts Ongoing Mature
"To all the girls who feel they are unfortunate." Chandrika -The princess of Ajmer labelled as the bad omen for the palace, she had always been kept locked in a room with nothing but silent screams ringing in her ears reminding her every second that she is nothing but a curse for her loved ones. Now those screams are no less than a lullaby which helps her sleep after each failed attempt to end her life every single night. Her innocent soul now rests in the pit of hope which diminishes in small doses, that one day someone will see her for who she wants to be. Someone who will see her not as a curse, but as a girl who just wants to be loved. Sultan Adil Faisal khan- Sultan of the Mughal Sultanate The young man who was titled as the Sultan at the very young age of 17, but deep down his tough mask resides in an innocent heart which aches every second missing someone he can never meet. Even though it's false for him to think of her when he knows he can't have her, his heart always repels his brain whispering, "what if?". what if one day he could meet her again? what if he could inhale her sweet scent again? What if he could confess his longing towards her? what if...? This world carries so much magic that to justify its unrealistic nature we label it as coincidence. Funny right? This story or as I should say every other romance story says otherwise even the sad ones and I totally agree. In this universe, where people are busy calculating possibilities of a dice number also live people like me who believe in fate, and I think anyone who reads does believe in fate. "kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisike liye" this lyric says everything I want to convey through my story. Each person in our life is like a chapter who helps us reach our happy ending. So, let's turn our pages and read through them. Shall we?
