tragedy

the lady in black

Every fairy tale has a cost. Hers was everything. ​Blake Anderson was never meant to be a trophy. Born into a life of stifling expectations, she was a prisoner of her parents' ambition long before she ever set foot in the glittering, smoke-filled clubs of the city. But the night she met Elliot, the darkness finally took a face and it was devastatingly beautiful. ​A billionaire prince of a criminal empire, Elliot offered her a world of intoxicating indulgence, whisking her away from her hollow life with the promise of a future paved in wealth. Blinded by the intoxicating pull of first love, Blake willingly walked into his arms, unaware that his affection was merely a tether, and his generosity was a down payment on her life. ​Her transition into his world was swift and suffocating. Behind the heavy, iron-wrought gates of his estate, the luxury turned to lead. Her voice was silenced, her movements tracked, and her agency stripped away until she was nothing more than a ghost haunting her own life. As Elliot’s true nature uncoiled revealing a cruelty as cold as his wealth, Blake found herself trapped in a gilded labyrinth where the exits were bolted shut and the walls were built by the people she once called family. ​Then came the day she was discarded left to wither in the cold, unfeeling dark, a casualty of a power game she never chose to play. But they made a fatal mistake: they left her alive. ​Now, the woman who was once molded into submission has been forged into something much more dangerous. Resurrected from the wreckage of her own life, Blake is no longer the girl who dreamt of models and med school. She is the shadow in the room, the whisper in the night, and the architect of a slow, exquisite retribution. ​The debt is overdue. The players have been set. And as the empire of gold begins to bleed, Blake will ensure that when the dust settles, there is nothing left to bury. ​In this game of vengeance, mercy is a luxury she can no longer afford.

Their love is pure and sincere, yet the people around them call it a sin. When their relationship is discovered, the sect hunts them down and brutally kills them, believing they have erased a forbidden bond. But love cannot be destroyed so easily. Years later, their souls are reborn in another world filled with magic, kingdoms, and warriors. Asha is reborn as a boy named Arlen, while Lira is reborn as a girl named Mira. Neither remembers their past life, yet an unexplainable feeling of familiarity pulls them toward each other. As fate brings them together once again, love slowly begins to grow between them. But destiny repeats its cruelty. The same sect exists in this new world, and when they discover Mira’s love, they execute her once again. At that moment, Arlen remembers everything.

MRITYUNJAYA

"मृत्योर्मा अमृतात्गमय।" (Lead me from death to immortality.) For centuries, men have chanted the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, begging Lord Shiva for victory over death. They believe immortality is a blessing. They are wrong. In the dark underbelly of Delhi, a serial killer is performing the impossible. He is murdering people exactly as predicted in the ancient Vedas, leaving behind crime scenes that defy logic and forensic science. Each body is a verse. Each drop of blood is a star in a constellation of horror. Enter Aditya, a forensic genius who trusts only what he can cut open, and Rudra, an encounter specialist who trusts only his gun. Bound by a brotherhood thicker than blood, they are the only ones who can stop the slaughter. But this is not a story about catching a killer. It is a story about the cost of a secret. As the bodies pile up, the line between the hunter and the hunted blurs. The killer knows them. He knows their past. He knows the sin they buried ten years ago. He isn't just killing victims; he is dismantling their souls, piece by piece. When the final body falls, the truth will be more terrifying than the murder itself. The killer is not a stranger. He is the consequence of their own past. What happens when the only way to win... is to destroy the one person you love the most? A story of a father's grief, a brother's betrayal, and a love that dies before it can breathe. A twisted game where the prize is death, and the price is your soul. Victory over death is a curse. And the bill has come due.
