In the midst of a terrifying journey, Shreenath feels as though destiny itself is playing a cruel game, setting him and his companions up for a deadly fate. The tension builds as a speeding jeep threatens to end their lives, symbolizing the inescapable fate that looms over them.

With brilliant narrative techniques and an exceptional grasp of eerie storytelling, this book stands as a testament to Matkari’s mastery in the horror genre.
