Monsoon Earth

About the Book

Sanchi is shaken to the core when her lucid encounter with Advitya transports her through a Delphic portal into a disturbingly familiar world, where past and present collide.

Spiralling into the intrigues of the Indian subcontinent, ravaged by civil disruption, Sanchi dissolves into another.

1947

Mass migrations, religious enmity, and greed drive a stake through the heart of the country, ripping apart its soul.

Caught up in the tumult, two young lovers, Dharm and Preet, with the help of Jaffer, attempt a perilous escape through blood-soaked borders, only to be ensnared by treachery and tragedy.

As monsoons lash the cities and the partitioned lands of India, Sanchi straddles two timelines-one steeped in history's heartbreak and the other anchored in her present.
