In the shadow-soaked depths of West Bengal's ancient forests, the silence hides more than secrets-it devours them. 


Corpses keep surfacing, abandoned beneath twisted Sal trees, their lifeless eyes open as if bearing witness to a horror beyond words. The pattern is chilling. 


The killer-unseen, unnamed-moves like a phantom, always one step ahead, always watching.


When IAS officer Agnivo Ghosh, stoic and razor-sharp, is assigned to the case, he doesn't expect to cross paths with Kotha Chatterjee., a firebrand young IPS officer with her own buried demons. 


Bound by duty, divided by method, they're drawn into a psychological game neither of them is prepared for. 


But as the investigation pulls them deeper into a world where myth and madness blur, their clash turns to connection, and that connection to something dangerously close to obsession.



In a land where the trees remember blood and the air breathes secrets, love isn't just a risk-it's a weapon.....

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.
