THE WORD OF VIRATAPURAM

Arun was the young priest of Viratapuram — a sweet, kind deity, but villagers feared the temple. Financial loss and superstition forced him to leave his home and take a job in Huseranagar. Office politics spoiled his peace. In anger, he threw a word at a colleague... and that word became true. Instantly. He discovers a terrifying truth hidden in his father's trunk: his family is from a lineage of occults. He has inherited Vak-Shakti — the cursed power where whatever you speak, becomes reality. But why did his family become occults? When he prays at home, cats and crows assemble around him to pay tribute. He realizes his forefathers committed a sin — they never fed the crows during Pitru Paksha, forgetting the Pitru Devtas (our forefathers). For that sin, his grandparents paid the price. Now Arun must return to Viratapuram and bring back people's belief in the kind deity... before his word kills again. *Volume 1 ends on a cliffhanger. Volume 2: The Return to Viratapuram — coming soon
