The Kaveri Covenant
The fields of Periyakudi haven't seen water in three seasons. The earth is cracked. The families are desperate. And someone has made sure it stays that way.
When water rights lawyer Ananya Krishnamurthy arrives to mediate what her firm calls a routine dispute, she expects paperwork and posturing. Instead, she uncovers a document no one was meant to find - a 1983 covenant that didn't just steal water. It buried a man who knew the truth.
Irrigation engineer Selvaraj Muthusamy documented everything forty years ago. Then he disappeared. Now his fingerprint is pressed into a conspiracy that spans three powerful clans, a corrupt bureaucracy, and a political network that will do anything to keep the past from surfacing.
As Ananya digs deeper - through forged logs, vanished blueprints, and a schoolteacher who has carried a dead man's secret for thirty years - witnesses are bought off, a life is taken, and the walls close in.
The evidence she needs is out there. Sealed in the foundation of a stone dam. Buried beneath forty years of silence.
She just has to reach it before they reach her.
The Kaveri Covenant is a razor-sharp legal thriller rooted in the soil, water, and silenced voices of the Kaveri delta. Don't miss the first page - you won't stop until the last.
