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?All Rights Reserved

Falling In Love - Dwaparyug (Coming Back In 2026) by writes_shree_

In a world where time bends and destiny weaves its own mysterious patterns, eight sisters from Kalyug - modern, spirited, curious - find themselves unexpectedly thrown back into the ancient and divine Era of Dwaparyug, the time of the Mahabharata. As they step into the grand courts of Hastinapur, the sacred lands of Kurukshetra, and the majestic halls of Indraprastha, they come face to face with legends they had only read about in scriptures: the valiant Pandavas, the wise Krishna, the mighty Bhishma, the fierce Karna, and the misunderstood Duryodhan. But this is not the Mahabharata you know. What if one of these sisters is none other than Mahalakshmi herself, incarnated without her own knowledge, drawn by cosmic design to restore the balance of fate? What if the infamous Dyut Sabha (the game of dice) still happened, but Duryodhan was not the mastermind behind it - what if he, too, was a noble-hearted prince, caught in the web of palace politics? What if Karna, instead of being torn between loyalty and dharma, stood firmly as a royalist, adopted by bhishma & the only way to tie pandav & kaurav In this twist of imagination, love blooms across time, as the sisters' modern hearts connect with the ancient souls of the epic's heroes. Bonds of love, respect, rivalry, and sacrifice are tested across centuries. This story is purely a work of fiction, a heartfelt tribute and imaginative reweaving of the epic Mahabharata. No disrespect is intended toward the original scripture, its divine characters, or the beliefs surrounding them. If you're sensitive to fictional reinterpretations, you may kindly choose to skip this. For those ready to dive into the depths of this reimagined tale, I invite you: step into the ocean of this book and discover a Mahabharata where fate itself gets a second chance.

Secrets Unveiled In Time (Time#1 Book#2) by memorycraver

| 'Time' Series | | Time#1 : Book Two of The 'Secrets Duology' | ( Updates come faster on Scrollstack.) *** Mahadevan and Hinduja now stand at the foothills of the very mountain they must climb to get hold of the coin before it goes for a final toss. Remnants of fog still cling stubbornly to the air. And rain has become an ever-present companion now. Washing out everything in its wake. The dark green woods seem more dense than before, and the masks? Darker than ever. Yet the illusions remain the same. And amidst all this, there lay a few paramount questions alone- Who's the illusion? Who's not? And, Who's the illusionist? Who's not? And to answer these questions, there's one supreme task above all-to unearth all sides of that decades-old coin before the final toss and before the exodus of the darkest dawn. *** Note: With all intents and purposes, Secrets Hidden In Time is a slow-burn e-novel in terms of romance, mystery, and the psychological thriller quotient of it. Kindly be patient. | COMPLETED ✔ |

Getting betrayed and killed by her closest companion, she finds herself conscious in another world, which she had only read stories of. Scared but also audacious, Evi tries to find her way back to her world, but gets stuck between the conflicts and betrayals of Dwapara yug. Going against destiny's path, and enraging the Gods who she was brought up to be afraid of, Evi finds herself entangled in the political mess that is the Kuru clan's legacy. Creating trouble with just one move, she destroys the predestined future of the Aryavart royals as she interrupts the infamous swayamvar of the fireborn. With the burden of all the mishaps happening, and with all the fingers pointed at her, will Evi be able to find the way back to her world before a break in her sanity causes havoc in the Kingdoms of Aryavarta? .... Evi knew she f-ed up. She just hit a God, one of the main Gods. "Sorry" Evi apologised. "Are you apologising out of guilt or fear?" Krishna asked, wiping off the blood from his face. "You very well know which one it is" Evi growled, holding the same menacing glare she had for every little thing she abhorred, "I have no guilt in hitting a God who ignored the cries of humanity and let them perish" *** START DATE : 8TH JANUARY 2023 END DATE: 4TH JULY 2023 WORDS: 150K+ *** A FEW ACCOLADES 🥇1/33.5K #timetravel 🥇1/29.6K #wlw 🥇1/26.2K #mythology 🥇1/1.6K #mahabharat. 🥈2/9K #karma 🥉3/12.5K #politics 🥉3/1.85K #krishna 🏅70/289K #depression

Mysterious Time Traveler in Dwapara Yuga by Nishaku09

In the mystical era of Dwapara Yuga, there existed a mysterious time traveler-a girl who wove her existence through countless aliases, concealing her true name and identity. Only four individuals knew her intimately, forming an unbreakable bond that transcended lifetimes. Together, they navigated the ebb and flow of existence, from life to death and back again. Behind the veil of secrecy, she held immense power. Since her teenage years, she had subtly shaped the world, showing kindness to those who deserved it and unleashing wrath upon those who dared to cross her. To her loved ones, she appeared as an innocent child, her personality bubbling with warmth. But to outsiders, she emanated an enigmatic calmness-a silent force that could alter destinies. In an unexpected twist of fate, she found herself transported back to the era of great warriors-a time when valour clashed against destiny, and legends were forged in the crucible of battle. The catalyst for this temporal journey was a seemingly innocuous mistake made by someone she deeply cared for-a mistake that reverberated through the ages. She found herself reborn as the daughter of a benevolent king and queen. Three elder brothers surrounded her, their protective love shielding her from the tumultuous currents of fate. And so, she stepped into the annals of history, her modern sensibilities colliding with an ancient world.

Flame, Ocean and Strangers by author_sohagini

The story begins in the 1840s, across two remarkable lands, Jodhpur also known as the desert's royal jewel and Calcutta also known as the cultural heart of India. One thrives on grace and legacy; the other hums with intellect and art. Together, they set the stage for a tale that holds every emotion like love, fear, betrayal, suspense, and echoes that raise goosebumps. Maharaj Aryaveer Singh Rathore, the formidable king of Jodhpur, is the very image of perfection. He is a man whose presence commands silence, whose gaze carries danger, and whose aura can make even shadows tremble. Raised to fight like a warrior think like a scholar and rule like destiny itself, he is both blade and crown. Yet beneath his sovereign calm lies a buried memory, one powerful enough to drown empires. He was born with the strength of the ocean, yet chose to disguise himself in fire. What happens when the flame herself enters his world to burn the disguise and awaken what time tried to forget? She is Chitralekha, not the beauty poets sing of but the enigma they fear to name. At nineteen, she is a contradiction too regal to be ordinary, too solitary to be adored, too fierce to be claimed. A flame wrapped in silk, a mystery carved in flesh. This is not merely a tale of two souls meeting for love or tragedy but the story of destiny reclaiming its script. They will meet to unearth a forgotten curse, to rewrite a history buried in sand and sword. Neither knows the truth of their past, but destiny never forgets. Perhaps this is not their first meeting. Long ago, in an age lost to dust and blood maybe they met as strangers, loved as if time bowed to them, and perished under a curse: "When flame meets ocean, the empire shall fall." Centuries turned. Empires vanished. But destiny never dies. Now, they meet again to awaken the curse, to bend time, and to shatter history itself. This is not the story of first love. It is love's last echo, reaching across centuries for one final chance.

The Kingdom Beneath Our Veins by isharanyx

**Two soul sisters.** **Two mafia kings.** **One night in Kashi that rewrote destiny.** Prateeksha Thakur is all fire - a chaos-loving fashion student with a sharp tongue, a softer heart, and a stepmother who treats her like she doesn't exist. Nayantara Rathore is her opposite - calm, cold, an MBBS student who worships Lord Krishna but believes love is a lie. Together, they are unshakable. Unbreakable. And unprepared for the storm that's about to claim them. They sneak out to Kashi for Mahashivratri. They come back married to the most feared men in Udaipur. **Veervardhan Rajput** - the silent, calculating ruler of Rajasthan's underworld - sees her once and decides he'll write her fate. **Rajvardhan Rajput** - the arrogant prince of chaos - falls for the girl who roasts him before knowing his name. These men don't woo. They *own*. And they don't ask twice. What begins as obsession spirals into power games, blood oaths, midnight betrayals, and an empire built on secrets. But Prateeksha and Nayantara? They weren't born to be wives. They were born to burn kings The book is under editing..... Many things are yet to be edited.
