Books
When twins James and Jane travel from England to India in search of their past, they uncover more than family history—they stumble into a web of betrayal, forbidden love, and corruption that spans generations.
From hospitals to ancestral homes, hidden letters to corridors of power, the truth lies scattered in fragments. But some truths are deadlier than lies. As long-silenced voices rise, dangerous forces close in, determined to erase the past. Each revelation shatters their footing—was their family broken by tragedy, or by design?
A suspenseful tale of identity, destiny, and the weight of untold stories.
