Only her best friend knows that when she lost her grandmother on her eighteenth birthday, something weird had happened to her. Priya does not remember anything of six month phase right after her granny's death, a period when she had lost contact with everyone. She also gets frequent nosebleeds and vague flashbacks of the time when she was missing.

In the modern times, when the youngest of the Rajvanshis - Arnav Rathore is on a quest to renovate Sheesh Mahal into a five star resort, a devastating secret threatens to spill out and change his life forever.

A lonely Priya, now Arnav's wife, starts spending most of her time in the grand library of Sheesh Mahal, learning about the rich history of her husband’s royal lineage.

As Arnav becomes increasingly consumed with work, Priya struggles with long suppressed memories that start coming to the fore.

Hurled back in time through unexplained forces, Priya finds herself driven to bringing justice to the prince who had been wronged and change the fate of the Rajvanshis while her own future hangs in the balance.

Excerpts from the Foreword

"It is a beautifully written book that goes deep into the psyche of a seemingly normal young girl who has a strange ability and a secret that will dictate her entire life.

Shalini doesn't rush with the narrative and is never in a hurry to show all her cards at once. She takes her time, allows the reader to meditate on the complexities of her characters, lets their inner turmoil and conflicts play out, and then gradually, like a very fine operatic piece, takes the narrative to its crescendo."

Something about her feels disturbingly familiar even though she passionately hates him. But Shivani's dismissal plunges Avinash into a strange feeling of deception which he is unable to fathom….
