Whispers of Nalini: Historical Fiction
"A Tale of Temptation, Betrayal, and Divine Reckoning"
He was meant to remain untouched. She was sent to break him. The gods never expected her to rise.
In a kingdom dying of drought, whispers spread of an ascetic so pure that even the heavens refuse to weep. His devotion is unshaken, his virtue untarnished. And so the gods watch.
Indra, ruler of the heavens, fears what the sage may become. A mortal too powerful. A man too untouched. A force too dangerous. And so, he does what gods do best-he schemes.
He sends a test.
He sends a woman.
Nalinika was never given a choice. She is chosen as the kingdom's last hope, a blade honed for seduction, a tool sharpened by cruelty. Her task is simple: tempt him. Break him. Strip him of his purity. Only then will the gods grant rain.
But what happens when the pawn refuses to be moved?
What happens when a woman, meant to be nothing more than a whisper of temptation, instead becomes a reckoning?
When virtue crumbles and desire takes hold, the gods watch in amusement-until Nalinika does the unthinkable.
Until she climbs too high.
Until the heavens tremble.
A brutal, immersive retelling of an ancient Jataka tale, Whispers of Nalini explores the power of desire, the cruelty of the divine, and what it means to rise when you were never meant to stand.
