Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalTeenagers Myna and her friend Jehan are on vacation on Anaishola, a remote and semi-abandoned tea plantation in High Wavy’s, South India, where they stumble upon a series of mysterious discoveries—‘Evil spirits are around,’ says Myna’s wise old gardener. An intriguing diarist, who lived half a century earlier, seems to follow the protagonists through their holiday with descriptions of terrifying events that occurred in the past.
Along with jungles and the wilderness , a strange fire, odd events, a secretive old yogi and more, readers will be drawn in to uncover a dangerous past that attract Myna and Jehan too, like insects to a pitcher plant.
Is disaster in store for the teenagers with no way to escape?
