After the death of her beloved grandmother, Megha, Kashvi inherits an antique pocket watch-an heirloom passed down through generations. On the night of Megha's funeral, she has a vivid, almost supernatural dream, where Megha pleads with her to find the man who killed her. But her final words hold a chilling warning: "The Arcanum Order will come for the watch."
Determined to uncover the truth, Kashvi begins investigating, but strange things start happening-eerie coincidences, shadows that shouldn't be there, and the feeling that she's always being watched. Then, she accidentally activates the watch-and discovers its impossible secret.
The watch isn't just a family heirloom. It is an artifact of immense power, tied to an ancient secret that has been haunting her family for generations. The Arcanum Order, a hidden organization that safeguards dangerous relics, claims the watch was never meant to be hers. Megha was supposed to surrender it to them, but she didn't. And now, they want it back.
But there's more. Kashvi learns that the watch doesn't just track time-it can bend it. It holds the power of time travel, but every time she uses it, she loses part of her own life in return.
As Kashvi and her best friend Anshuman search for answers, they uncover whispers of betrayal, forgotten history, and a murder that was never meant to be solved. The deeper they dig, the more they realize Megha's death is just the beginning of something far darker than they ever imagined.
The Order is watching. The murderer is still out there. And time is running out.

The SunDowners In | The Dagger and the Rose
Action Adventure Series • Book 4 Every relic is a doorway. Every shadow hides a name. And every Sunbound heart must learn the price of carrying legends too long. From the desert's whispers to the catacombs' bells, the story does not end, it deepens. The Tiger led them to the Dagger, and the Rose waits with thorns still wet with blood." 🌹 When something evil and ancient plunders the tomb of Sainte-Rosamonde, a convent where shadows once moved like assassins, the Sunbound are pulled into a legend older than they can fathom. The artifact is no mere treasure- it is the key to binding or unleashing a power buried in blood and silence. For Callahan, it is more than a mission. It is a vow. Once, in a hidden cloister of France, a woman named Rosamonde Ducos; nun, resistance fighter, assassin, saint, called him The Dagger. He called her The Rose. Before her death, she bound him to a promise: to guard the relic with his life. Now her ghost cries out to him, and he knows what it means-her trust has been betrayed, and her sorrow is not at rest. 🌹 But as the Sunbound race time itself across catacombs and castles, they discover something more chilling: The relic is not just tied to Rosamonde. It is knotted into the very curse that took Tatyana, the woman Callahan lost to his own stubborn silence. And if they cannot recover it, both women's ghosts- and Callahan himself- may be consumed. Together, Kaida, Noey, Atlas, and Valli must face the labyrinth of Callahan's past, where assassins wore habits, where lovers became legends, and where shadows still hunger for flesh. Because the relic is not only a prize. It is a mirror. And when the Sunbound look into it, they will see the truth: This time, the fight is not to save a relic. It is to save him. It was beautiful. It was damning. It was his. 🌹 The Dagger and the Rose.Complete

What will happen when the four Rajvardhan brothers, cold-hearted, power-driven, and scarred by their pasts, are forced into marriage under family pressure? Thrown into unwanted vows with four women, these men are about to face a storm of secrets, rebellion, and desire. Will they cage the women they're bound to, or set themselves on fire in the process?

| 'Time' Series | | Time#1 : Book One of The 'Secrets Duology' | *** The workings of her brain were a mystery to her own pneuma. That's what Hinduja Rao always thought. But, quite similar to her thoughts about her own self, was someone else around her. Her newly wedded husband, the sovereign of the Dogra Empire, Mahadevan Dogra. A man who possessed the might to guard even shadows. To the people who knew, theirs was a simple marriage. But was it really? Together, they stand in the murky twilight, enshrouded by a dense layer of fog, with their toddler securely tucked within their protective hold. But, once the fog sheds, they must hunt for a coin, a coin of two sides, embossing realities that are enough to destroy everything they have steadily built around themselves. The twist? Mahadevan knows what his side of the coin has to say, Hinduja doesn't. Moreover, is everything exactly as it appears to be? Or, all along, what awaits at the end is, in fact, an illusion indeed. *** 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.
