Description
A lost cave. A glowing flame. A pendant that unlocks a forgotten world. When seventeen-year-old Matilda Bambridge-daughter of a British Earl-vanishes into a cave in colonial India, she expects danger. What she finds is Haratha: a hidden city untouched by time, where language is foreign, the streets are silent, and the pendant she now wears marks her as someone... chosen. But Matilda is no warrior, no queen, no prophet-just a girl who wants to go home. Guided by a curious young girl and a quiet boy with honey-coloured eyes, Matilda must navigate a land bound by ancient magic, unravel the meaning of the mysterious "Rohini," and face a fate written long before she was born. In Haratha, nothing is coincidence, and her presence is not an accident. Step beyond the veil. The flame is calling.
