Sanjana Bhat is attractive, a bestselling writer and haunted. After years of acclaim and curated silence, she returns to her childhood farmhouse: part to sell it, part to write her eighth novel, a thriller steeped in romance, memory, and something darker.
At first, it feels like research, but as the days pass, she can't tell if she's waiting for the story or if the story has been waiting for her. Nothing explains the voices in the walls, the shifting reflections, or the memories of her.
Set in the rain-soaked hills of the Western Ghats, this is a story of family, grief, and the kind of love that leaves something bitter behind. And in time, Sanjana comes to understand that not everything drowned is truly gone.
