When renowned forensic linguist Aanya Roy is called in to decode a series of mysterious letters written in a forgotten language, she steps into a case that feels eerily familiar. The words are strange, poetic - and somehow seem to echo with fragments of her past.

Working alongside the quiet and guarded Inspector Karan Malhotra, Aanya finds herself drawn into a web of hidden codes, buried memories, and secrets that refuse to stay silent. As the investigation deepens, so does her entanglement - not just with the case, but with the man assigned to protect it.

But some scripts aren't meant to be read.
And some truths weren't meant to be found.

The Shadows Beneath Us is a gripping and lyrical romance thriller that explores how trauma speaks in silence, how love can unravel in layers, and how the past always leaves something written between the lines.

18 parts Complete
Aanya Seth has survived a life that tried to break her. She learned to stay quiet, to hide her wounds, to keep her heart soft even when the world wasn't. She does not expect love. She does not look for it. She only knows how to endure. Then she walks into the nightclub. And Arjun Rathore sees her. He is a man known for silence. For power. For a heart locked behind walls no one touches. But one look at Aanya - her soft eyes, her quiet strength, her gentle pain - and something inside him shifts. Not slowly. Not gently. He falls with intensity, with certainty, with a devotion that borders on worship. She is not his to control. She is not his to fix. She is his to protect. His to cherish. His to heal - and to be healed by. Because sometimes, the strongest love is the one that saves you without trying.

He had already decided-thirty days, a signature, and they'd go back to being strangers. No attachments. No emotions. Just a deal. But somewhere in between, the lines blurred. Somewhere in between, a home was built, a love so quiet yet so consuming took root in places they never dared to look. And when the contract ended, they walked away-pretending none of it had ever meant anything. Yet, some feelings never fade, some stories refuse to be forgotten, and some hearts find their way back-no matter how much time or distance tries to pull them apart. Because love, the kind that lingers in every breath, every unspoken word-it was never meant to be temporary. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙚⋆ ୨ৎ ──────── ✦ 1ꜱᴛ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴇꜱᴛɪɴʏ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ 🌷

Obsession doesn't knock at the door-it slips in quietly, hidden in shadows, whispered through silence, and sealed inside a letter. For Ishani, life was meant to be simple-classes, laughter with her roommate, late-night calls with her sister. But each month, her nightmare arrives: a letter. Plain, ordinary... and yet deadlier than a knife. Because it's his. The faceless stranger who has followed her for years. The shadow who never lets her breathe. The man whose obsession isn't love-it's possession. No one knows who he is. No one has seen his face. But Ishani feels him everywhere- in the stillness of night, in crowded rooms, in every step she takes. Every word in his letters drips with obsession, every threat is a promise: she belongs to him. And anyone who dares to come close to her pays with their life. Her friends think she's paranoid. Her family believes she's fine. But Ishani knows the truth-she isn't living, she's surviving him. This isn't love. This is obsession-dark, merciless, and unrelenting. Step into Ishani's world, where every knock on the door is a warning, every stranger a suspect, and every letter a piece of her doom. A psychological thriller that will keep you questioning every shadow, this book explores the terrifying truth: sometimes, the monster isn't under your bed or hiding in the dark. Sometimes, he walks beside you in plain sight. And once you open this book, his obsession won't just haunt Ishani-it will haunt you too. ♡Ms.Gupta♡
