Publisher's Synopsis
In the quiet and seemingly ordinary Hannadara village, a sinister curse has loomed since 1958, casting dread over the first week of June each year that threatens the lives of its unsuspecting residents. In June 1995, Rishabh Khatri, a twenty-year-old man seeking peace and connection to his dead mother's home, arrives.
Rishabh's journey into Hannadara takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious girl, Kiran Talwar. Kiran's most striking features are her heterochromatic eyes. Bruised and isolated, she appears to be the only one who knows the curse's true nature, yet she remains an outcast, ignored and marginalized by the very people who should be seeking answers. As Rishabh and Kiran's paths cross, they find themselves bound by fate and a shared determination to break the shackles of this malevolent curse. Together, they go on a quest to uncover the dark secrets that have plagued Hannadara for decades. The curse's presence intensifies with each passing day, as the death toll mounts. Rishabh and Kiran race against time, diving deeper into the village's past, unearthing long-buried truths, and unmasking the truth behind the curse. With the lives of Hannadara's residents hanging in the balance, Rishabh and Kiran must summon all their courage, intellect, and resilience to put an end to the curse that threatens to consume not only their village but their own lives as well. The fate of Hannadara rests squarely on their shoulders, and they must unravel the mystery before more people die.
