Step into a world where magic breathes from ancient scrolls, and secrets can kill...

In an alternate, enchanted India, eighteen-year-old Anik serves in the country's most powerful magical institution, the Great Library, where books whisper, scrolls shimmer with spells, and danger lurks in every dusty corner. But Anik hides a secret: he possesses forbidden magic tied to his low caste. If discovered, he faces a brutal fate at the hands of the soul-stealing witch known as the Dayan, a fate that claims his master, the Librarian.

When Anik is forced to take his master's place, he becomes entangled in the lives of the royal maharaja's gifted twins, the mysterious and brooding Nyan, and the fiery, fearless Ishana, who captures Anik's heart. Together, they embark on a perilous journey through a haunted jungle to reach the legendary Night of Wonders, a deadly magical tournament where enchanters from across the nation compete for glory.

But something darker than rivalry stirs in the shadows. A terrifying presence, feared even among the most powerful magicians, has awakened. With forbidden romance, caste defiance, magical creatures, and a race against time, Anik must decide who he truly is... before the Library falls and takes them all with it.

A young adult fantasy perfect for fans of The Night Circus, Shadow and Bone, and The Star-Touched Queen, this standalone fantasy novel weaves paranormal adventure, historical re-imagining, and epic magic into an unforgettable tale of love, power, and survival.
