Magic still holds power in this age. Tribal affiliations are still dominant. Settlers and nomads raid each other and regard each other with suspicion. Cultural contacts are often fraught with peril.
When a young boy of the nomadic pastoralist Sharp-Shooter tribe, Frakâna, shows up in the Settlement of the Deepmoors, asking permission to visit one of their holy sites, it naturally raises suspicions. The two Deepmoors sent to accompany him, Satbai and Nâla, seek to uncover the truth about Frakâna, but in so doing they trigger an avalanche of violence and intrigue that threatens to split the Deepmoor Settlement apart. Can the Deepmoors and the Sharp-Shooters put their differences aside long enough to prevent an all-out war?

The Silent Flame - A Journey Through Fire & Faith
When a five-year-old boy defies centuries of family tradition by refusing a blood sacrifice, he unknowingly awakens a spiritual legacy that will haunt three generations. Sandeep Kumar thought his biggest battles were financial debt and family dysfunction-until he discovered the ancient pact that bound his bloodline to forces beyond understanding. As mysterious rituals resurface, his young daughter begins speaking in voices not her own, and whispers from the past demand a choice: break the chain of inherited trauma, or watch it consume everyone he loves. In the shadow of the Himalayas, where tradition meets rebellion and silence carries more truth than prayers, one man's journey to heal his fractured family becomes a reckoning with the divine itself.
The River Bends
Rebecca isn't looking for love. She isn't looking for destiny, reincarnation, or the kind of attraction that hijacks your body before it ever touches your heart. But in Bangkok-loud, fevered, ancient beneath its glitter-love doesn't wait politely. It devours. Sarocha is impossible. Elegant, aloof, magnetic in ways that defy sense. From the moment they meet, the connection is instant-visceral, inescapable, like something old waking up between them. Rebecca doesn't believe in past lives. But her body does. Her soul does. And Sarocha? She's been waiting. As passion flares into obsession, Rebecca is pulled into a world she never imagined-of forgotten gods, ancestral curses, and a bond that runs deeper than blood. The closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes. Not because they don't want each other-because they do. Desperately. Recklessly. Maybe ruinously. Some loves are meant to save you. Some are meant to set you on fire. This one might do both.
When Gods Cry
In Atlusa, when the war between good and evil ended, the people were forever divided into two tribes, the Kasuhi and the Amathu. The gods marked the Kasuhi with the mark of good for they had supported them while the Amathu were given the mark of evil for opposing the gods. They then gave the Kasuhi dominion over the Amathu so that evil would never raise again and to prevent another war from happening. Thousands of years later, animosity between the two tribes has culminated in a pending war and at the centre of this war stands Muma, an Amathu boy born with the mark of good. Stricken by grief when his rebel brother is executed, Muma embarks on a mission to free his people. Infiltrating the city of the Kasuhi, he seeks to bring down their society and free his people. Yet within their midst, Muma confronts a reality that dismantles his beliefs. The once clear line between good and evil blurs, challenging his convictions, his sense of purpose, and belonging. In this spellbinding tale, deception, secrets, magic, gods, and the irresistible pull of destiny propel Muma toward choices that will define the fate of a world on the brink of uncertainty and destruction.Complete
