Description

Chapter 1: The Book Was Not FinishedThe banyan roots no longer whispered.But silence had its own language.After placing the Nilavanti book back into its underground chamber, Shivi thought it was over. The stitched man was gone, the serpents scattered, and the voices had quieted.But on the third night, she dreamt of him again.Standing at the edge of the field.Facing her house.And then… he turned toward it.She awoke with a scream, breath ragged, her body burning with fever. On her palm, the old mark had returned—the coiled serpent with its eye open.---Chapter 2: The WarningThe village was changing.Birds no longer sang
