As the echoes of Christmas bells faded, a body was found in the backwaters near St Joseph’s Boarding School.  

 The case was never solved.  

For nearly two decades, the mist-laden hills of Vagamon and the backwaters of Fort Kochi have guarded the silence surrounding that night.   

A traumatized boy. A disgraced retired inspector. A seminary shrouded in secrets. A priest’s cryptic journal.   

When Krishna Iyer returns to Kerala after the death of his parents, he finds himself drawn back into the darkness he thought he had escaped. What begins as a search for closure soon unravels a world of buried crimes, fractured memories and men willing to do anything to keep the past from resurfacing.   

In a world where faith, power and guilt intertwine, every revelation comes at a cost. Because some places remember everything. And some secrets were never meant to surface. 

Husna is a writer from Kochi, Kerala. A dentist by qualification, she also holds a postgraduate diploma in journalism. She has worked as a content writer for online brands and as feature writer for news portals. 

She is the author of the poetry collections My Lyrical Symphony and Zikr, and the works of fiction SaudadeRed River Rising and Cry of the Hornbill.
