A phantom pulls strings from the shadows, influencing a never ending war.

Meanwhile, Lyra, a tinkerer and inventor, finds herself in the midst of discovering a new technology that would send the Overworld into a new era while their neighboring country, the Underworld, lies in eternal darkness. 
However, tragedy strikes as a death would lead her from a path of discovery to a path of revenge, hardening her heart and her skill to overcome what obstacles lay ahead. Creating unlikely allies and a love she would've never imagined in her battle worn journey. 

What will she sacrifice; her humanity or the one she's destined to be with?


Author's Note:
Thank you for taking the time to read my book! I understand that there are amateur mistakes and edits that I need to do. Just know, I'm trying to get everything out before I get to the editing phase, but if you do find something, please leave a comment as it would help improve the story, and me as a writer. :)

"Kapde utar," he said coldly. ["Strip"] Dhimahi's hands shook as she reached for her dupatta. There was no point resisting. She knew it. But she was too slow. Trayambak stormed towards her, ripped her kurti, and forced her down to her knees. "Muh khol." ["Open your mouth"] She looked up at him, her eyes full of fear, pleading silently. "Mere paas duniya bhar ka samay nahi hai, muh khol, warna mujhe aur bhi tareeke aate hai," he snapped, grabbing her hair again with one hand and slapping her lightly with the other. ["I don't have all the time in the world- open your mouth, or I know other ways to make you,"] She was empty now. Her tears kept falling, but she didn't fight. She couldn't. Like always, she did what she was told. Because Trayambak wasn't a husband. He was a monster. And she was trapped.

It seems not all hope is lost yet..... • Excerpt from Book "And, What is the MO of the killer? Do you even know that?" I asked, frustration evident in my voice. "The killer leaves behind flowers on his victims graves, Flowers sharing the same meaning as the victims names. He said writing down the word flowers with the red pen before making a circle around it. "It's the proof of the killer, left by himself." He continued, determination and something else shining in his eyes. X-X Cover made by @ThatWomanlyWoman321 Started - 22/9/24 1k - 13/11/24 2k - 5/3/25 Hello! This is my first book.
