11 July 2006, Mumbai. Sagarika Mehta walks out of her nine-year old marriage, meets with a near-fatal accident and goes into a deep coma: all on the same day. She wakes up with no memory of her past. After over a year in hospital, Rishab, her husband, whisks her away to Gurgaon to convalesce. There, in that plush apartment, with people waiting on her hand and foot, Sagarika feels a vague sense that something is wrong. Why does the scent of a particular cologne drive her into a frenzy?

As a desperate Sagarika searches for answers and learns to trust no one, she discovers that sometimes you need to forget everything to recognize what matters the most. Views: 26

The wars came, and they created a monster. The Pale, a subhuman, vampire-like drone. Then they lost control.**
In the thirty years that followed, humankind sought to rebuild itself within the walls of New Oxford.

The most dangerous of them all: the vampires.

But she is not alone – on her side, against all odds, is another vampire. Together they must fight for answers before it’s too late…
