Synopsis

Through the tale of Loyosha, Ibrahim, and Brojeshwar, the author has revived the appeal of the eighteenth-century English Gothic suspense novel in an Indian background. The story begins with the mysterious death of Damayanti and proceeds with many twists and turns. The changing situations, the reactions of the main characters, the political environment during the Clinton administration, and the tensions of the Kargil war in India have all been woven together to give this tale the appeal of a thriller with a philosophical ending. This is a tragic story of unfulfilled love and self-discovery against a backdrop of suspense.
