Synopsis
Around the 18th century, India was the centre of the world's major trades, including spices, metals, cotton, and diamonds. It was known as the land of spice.
It was not only for business, but it also drew explorers with its vast landscape and hidden mysteries, challenging them to discover what was hidden centuries ago from the modern world.
Lured by these characteristics, an explorer named Lord Leoandro Hughes decided to visit the deepest area of one of its kingdoms, unaware that it would open up some old wounds and begin a new chapter in his life.
Years later, the same kingdom gave birth to a girl named Ramya. She was only three years old when her mother died from an unknown disease. His father was a royal physician, but he was unable to save his wife's life.
After his wife died, he took care of Ramya on his own. She was currently seventeen years old, and his father was looking for a suitable match for her.
While he had been fighting an incurable disease for many years and was now weak and on the verge of death, he wanted his daughter to marry into a respectable family. Wherever he went for his daughter's hand, the families politely refused him, infuriating and worrying him with each passing day.
There was a rumour about Ramya's birth. The villagers whisper behind their backs. However, it did not bother the father-daughter duo, and they lived a happy life.
Her father was aware of the situation and determined to keep it a secret until his death. He always made sure his daughter was unaware of the facts that others could see. On the other hand, Ramya was a curious child. She did not want to be a doctor like her father, or a performer and housewife like her mother.
She wanted to explore the world and learn everything about it. She had no idea where she got these desires, but they were there, crawling under her skin, urging her to act.
Her father, just like her mother, left her alone in this world at the age of eighteen, but the noise of whispers persisted, and she could not ignore them this time.
To satisfy her curiosity, she made a significant decision to leave her birthplace and discover her ORIGIN, but she had no idea that curiosity killed the cat......
this is super interesting so far! i like how you’ve already cemented that she wants to diverge from the path one would think she’d take! i’m curious to see what she’ll find, and what her curiosity will actually bring her to in the book!
I like it when the author had not revealed the hidden secret about Ramya as per this chapter. It makes the reader curious and want to keep on reading. Great job!
