(UNDER MAJOR EDITING)

Bhavya Bhanushali, a brilliant archaeologist in Rome, is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with her idol. There's just one problem: the job is in India, the country where her parents tragically lost their lives. Despite her past, Bhavya can't let the chance slip away.

Even though the memories of her parents' death still haunt her, Bhavya knows she must go. But what she doesn't know is that her journey will lead her into deep, scary secrets, mysteries, and a past she never expected.

As she digs into the old stories of her hometown, she uncovers truths that have been hidden for years. But some secrets are better left untouched. Bhavya's search for answers might uncover more than she can handle.

(CURRENTLY UNDER MAJOR EDITING SO LATE UPDATES) Full Blurb in Chapter- "Aesthetics & Blurb" __________________________________ In a world where wealth defines power and silence hides scars, six lives collide under one roof-some bound by duty, some by past love, and some by secrets too dangerous to speak aloud. They didn't choose each other. They were thrown together by arrangements, timings, and the haunting echoes of old wounds. Abhimanyu Oberoi, the perfect heir, never thought love would come dressed in pain and fire. Pratishtha, whose soul still carries the weight of her past, never expected a man to see her scars and still choose to stay. Ananya buried her heart eight years ago-right where Tanmay left it shattered. Now he's back, engaged to someone else, but haunted by the truth he never knew. And then there's Abhiraj and Diksha, who hate each other far too much to admit what's building beneath the surface. This isn't just a story of love. It's about healing. About betrayal. About power and control. About wounds that run deeper than blood, and choices that could ruin everything. Will love be enough to stand against the ghosts of the past and the battles of the present? Or will these lives-arranged by fate and shattered by choice-tear apart before they even begin to come together? With love 💋 Azmira 🎀

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.

The more she tries to stay away from the charming prince, the more she is drawn to his gentle heart and ruthless facade. As anecdotes about elixirs from the Himalayas, stories about a certain king who possessed a mighty sword, and fables of an erstwhile princess who looked like her fall on Shreya's ears, she knows Suryagarh Fort is not just a tourist destination for her. It's a town where magic runs deep and serial killing is the norm. An anomaly of nature that she is, she must help nature seek balance. No matter what the cost is. Cover Credits: @AmbassadorsIN
