In the thick of 19th-century India, Amrut Pandya's life goes from a hopeless village wastrel to a key player in the emerging metropolis of Bombay and the treacherous opium trade in Hong Kong. To Death and Back is an immersive historical fiction following his journey, toggling between destitution and wealth, despair and hope, all while dealing with love and loss in the city that never slept even a hundred years ago.

Set against a rich historical backdrop, Amrut's story unfolds through love, betrayal, and survival, culminating in the devastating plague of 1897. As Bombay grows, his life becomes a picture of resilience in a world where fortune and tragedy go hand in hand.

Will Amrut's relentless pursuit of hope triumph, or will the weight of his losses bury him? "To Death and Back" is a powerful tale of ambition, loss, and redemption.All Rights Reserved

𝐏𝐭.𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ⋆₊˚༺𖦹❖𖦹༻ ˚₊⋆ Silence surrounded me, as if this place existed outside of time itself. No sound at all except for my own heartbeat, pounding in my ears. A single step onto that path could mean death. I stood still at the threshold, my hands gripping the rough, weathered stone of the open doors. I didn't step forward. And then; A whisper. Low. Soft. Almost- 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨. "प्रिया विक्रमेश्वरी... वे आप हमारे साथ आएगी ना?विक्रमात्मिका, मेरा समिक्षा |" ("Beloved Vikrameshwari [Vikram's Queen/ Vikram's Goddess].... won't you come with me? Vikramātmikā [Vikram's soul/essence/embodiment], My Samiksha.") The voice slid through the air, curling around my name with an unsettling familiarity. It was neither a demand nor a question. It simply... was. My heart pounded. My breath caught. Who was it? I turned my head sharply to the right. No one. Swallowing, I turned to the left; And there he stood. A figure, towering at least a feet above me. Gazing at me with those unreadable-Amber eyes. I gasped. And then I woke up. Gasping. Soaked in sweat. As if I had truly been there; lived it, breathed it, barely survived it. "Samiksha...", A voice - real - behind me. I turned. Vikram Rao Nandan. My alliance husband. Sat there... eyes the same amber, but this time they burned like the ones in my dream. Before I could speak, he did. And his voice was different. Final. Like a verdict. "You and I are always meant to be, my beloved. Even if I have to hunt you down from the ends of the world... even from the depths of darkness itself. We belong together. 𝐕𝐢𝐤𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚- 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳."

Fucking bullshit.He wrote every damn chapter of her life, etched her name into his heartbeat, and left her burning in his story. Five years ago, something happened, and everything fell apart. He chose revenge. She lost everything. And two other hearts never even got the chance to begin. Now, fate drags them back into a story that was never truly over. Unspoken truths, unforgotten wounds, and secrets buried so deep even they don't know they exist begin to surface. This isn't just about broken love, it's about a past that's been waiting, written long before they ever met.A past that binds them in ways they could never have imagined. To the world, they are power, pride, untouchable legacy...but beneath the surface, it is the 𝕾𝖎𝖓𝖘 𝖔𝖋 𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙 that hold them together... and threaten to tear them apart. Step into 'Sins of Heart', where secrets, betrayals, and a love that refuses to die collide. When old wounds bleed and forbidden desires awaken, will The Reckoning set her free... or prove she was always his?
