Literary fantasy rooted in ancient Indian cosmology, where the divine and the everyday meet in modern cities and family kitchens.

Divine Lies: The Unwilling Immortal

Niru has built a life that works. Magic was never going to be part of it. She trains hard, keeps her routines tight, and stays grounded through chosen family and discipline.

Magic belongs to history. And to her grandmother, an immortal goddess Niru loves but never expected to follow.

Until now.

When Niru's powers awaken, they bring scrutiny. Gods debate her future. Demons test her limits. An ancient magic bound to her responds in ways no one fully understands.

Niru does not resist what she carries. She does not submit to it either. She negotiates. She asks what it costs, who it serves, and what she's allowed to keep.

With Aedan, a disciplined Guardian who understands restraint as deeply as force, Niru navigates a conflict that threatens to spill across realms. She stays grounded when everything else tries to move her. She refuses to become what the gods expect.

An adult, character-driven literary fantasy inspired by ancient Indian mythology, about power with boundaries, chosen bonds, and refusing to disappear.

For readers who loved The Fox Wife for the way it renders a non-Western mythology as lived-in culture, the room and not the tour, and Circe for a story that stays close to one woman's mind and the cost of what she chooses.
