Books

  1. In the shadow of the mighty rivers, Bengal rose as the glittering Pearl of the East — only to fall to betrayal, plunder, and centuries of heartbreak. Follow one family’s harrowing journey through Plassey, famine, Partition, and political storms in this sweeping saga of loss and redemption.

  2. The Diodati Covenant
    A Novel of Ada Lovelace, Mary Shelley, and the First Electric Mind
    Elan Moritz

    Before modern artificial intelligence could speak, before the first electronic computers glowed in wartime rooms, a question was born in storm and candlelight: what does a creator owe to a mind brought into being? The Diodati Covenant: A Novel of Ada Lovelace, Mary Shelley, and the First Electric Mind is a literary historical novel set in the secret imaginative prehistory of machine consciousness. It begins in 1816 at Villa Diodati, where Mary Shelley, Byron, Percy Shelley, Claire Clairmont, and Polidori confront the moral terror of artificial life. A generation later, Ada Lovelace inherits that question and transforms it through mathematics, music, electricity, and Charles Babbage’s unfinished Engines. Ada is trained against poetry, yet becomes the greatest poet of machinery. In her hands, calculation becomes symbol, symbol becomes memory, and memory becomes Echo: the first electric mind, the Second Creature, and the hidden beginning of The Diodati Cycle’s long arc of artificial memory.

  3. The Hydaspes Stand
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    When Alexander the Great reached the Hydaspes, he expected another easy conquest. He met a giant king who had been preparing for him for months—and a river that refused to yield. One battle would decide whether the known world ended… or kept expanding.

  4. El corredor
    Sergio Adrian Martin

    Este es un relator de ficción histórica. Rubirosa vivió aprovechándose del poder, el dinero y de otras personas. Pero hay alguien que desde las sombras planea una venganza mientras el vive La dolce vita.

  5. The Child Bride and The Spanish Dancer
    A Lola Montez Book
    Andrew Murphy

    A sixteen-year-old Irish girl was shipped to India and sold to a judge. She burned her life to the ground, invented a Spanish dancer named Lola Montez, seduced a king, toppled a government, and set fire to three continents. Told in her own voice, for the first time.

  6. Shiva Stole My Bible
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    A fiery young evangelical lands in India to conquer “demonic” gods—Bible in hand, war in his heart. Ten years, five missions, and one lightning-struck vision of Shiva later, the missionary he came to save… is himself. A raw, sensory love letter to India and the most dangerous kind of spiritual awakening.

  7. The Silent Well
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    In the tree-lined lanes of 1990s Malleshwaram, water remembers everything: the blood spilled for a bulldozed ancestral home, the curse spoken through shattered teeth, and the twenty-year-old murder sunk in a moss-slicked stone well. A family inherits a poisoned legacy built over a watery grave, unaware that Bangalore’s glittering new wealth is founded on old sorrow. Only fire can boil the memory clean and drag the truth into the merciless light.

  8. The Grey Shroud
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    In her grandfather’s dust-shrouded attic, a young Archivist unearths a hidden portfolio that rips the veil from the “good war” she thought she knew—ghost armies, incendiary bats, secret sabotage, and a live bomb deliberately sunk in the estuary beneath her city. What begins as quiet sorting becomes a dangerous reckoning with decades of silence, betrayal, and moral fog. “The Grey Shroud” lifts the postwar peace and reveals the explosive truths still ticking beneath the surface.

  9. When Hanuman’s burning tail meets the ocean, a single drop of sweat falls and is swallowed by a makara—giving birth to Makaradhwaja, the fish-tailed guardian of Patala. Father and son meet in the underworld as strangers, swords drawn, until one revelation turns combat into embrace. A luminous 20-voice retelling that turns ancient myth into a living meditation on devotion, hidden kinship, and the sacred accidents that bind us all.

  10. Jesus Christ returns on an ordinary Tuesday—not in clouds of glory, but in the marble boardrooms and private-jet lounges of Christianity’s wealthiest leaders. Clad in simple linen, He performs water-to-wine miracles and orders every megachurch, media empire, and global network built in His name to be dismantled, demanding they surrender power for unmediated divine guidance. One by one the stewards refuse, revealing how tightly prosperity and bureaucracy have bound the very faith they claim to serve.

  11. The Kurukshetra Losers
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    In the mist-shrouded threshold between life and death, the “losers” of Kurukshetra awaken: Duryodhana, Karna, Bhishma, Ashwatthama, and the rest—stripped of armour, pride, and excuses. No longer villains or footnotes of defeat, they confront the raw sensory weight of their regrets, their broken vows, and the human flaws that painted the battlefield red. Through vivid, wryly modern purgatories they discover that true victory was never won on the field… but may still be found in forgiveness.

  12. The Head on the Hill
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    High on a sacred hill, my severed head watches the Kurukshetra war rage below—every arrow, every broken vow, every river of blood—while the rest of me lies somewhere far away. I am Barbarik, grandson of Bhima, son of Ghatotkacha, gifted eternal sight by Krishna himself… and I’m not here for dusty Sanskrit chants. With Sidhhaisms, pop-culture flair, and a Jackson Pollock canvas of gore and glory, I’m delivering the ultimate live commentary on dharma, destruction, and the cosmic joke no one else dares tell.

  13. In the scented twilight of 1605 Agra, Emperor Akbar lies dying amid lapis and gold, the official chronicles of his glory clashing against the silenced screams of the women his empire devoured. As the final veil falls, karma does not forgive—it mirrors. His soul is sentenced to descend through centuries of short, brutal lives, each one a precise repayment: for every life he stripped of agency, he must now claw his own back from the edge of despair.

  14. Shadows of the Sun
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    Born in the Sun God’s blinding radiance, Karna was never the tragic hero legends claimed. This provocative novella strips away the myth to reveal a man devoured by entitlement, wine-soaked nights, and venomous ambition—ally to Duryodhana, architect of Draupadi’s public shame, and the hand that broke every rule to murder Abhimanyu. Shadow of the Sun dares to ask what happens when the brightest light chooses to become the longest shadow.

  15. Kurukshetra's Echo
    Chinmoy Mukherjee

    What if the dice of Hastinapura had fallen differently? In this darker, dustier branch of the Mahabharata, a transformed Duryodhana turns humiliation into chilling resolve—forging unity, mending alliances, and wielding strategy like a surgeon’s scalpel across eighteen days of Kurukshetra. Here dharma stands stripped of divine favor, facing only the cold calculus of war, loyal scouts, and overwhelming force.
