The Ruhera family’s crumbling ancestral haveli in the former princely state of Samantipur has found a buyer. Young Samika and her family are summoned to Samantipur for a final family reunion before the sale of the property.  

Samika grabs the opportunity as she is curious about the mystery of her father’s sudden disappearance fifteen years ago.  

The moment she crosses the haveli’s gates, murky family secrets from the past unravel. Rumours abound that Maharani Urvashi, the infamous senior queen from the Ruhera family tree, is now the haveli’s resident ghost. As the hauntings intensify, the legend of the cursed Maharani—once dismissed as local folklore—begins to feel terrifyingly real. 

For generations, the men of the Ruhera family have died under strange, brutal circumstances—and always after the birth of a son. Now, with another heir on the way, will the Maharani’s curse claim its next victim? 

And as the past claws its way into the present, will the curse be broken to reveal a chilling truth?  

Neil D’Silva, bestselling author of Yakshini, delivers a page-turning narrative that leads up to a climactic supernatural battle that will challenge the very foundation of the Ruhera dynasty.
