The Serpent's Coil

The Western Ghats are more than just a mountain range; they are a living repository of whispers. For me, these majestic and mysterious landscapes have always felt like a place where the veil between our world and the world of myth is perilously thin. I have long been captivated by the rich tapestry of folklore, whispered legends, and forgotten histories that permeate the Indian subcontinent, and this novel was born directly from that fascination. I wanted to explore the delicate, and often terrifying, boundary between.

logic and the supernatural.

What happens when a contemporary hero, a person of unshakeable reason like a police inspector, is pitted against forces far older than memory?

Inspector Ilakkiya is our guide into that collision. She is a woman bound by duty and evidence who must learn to navigate a world where the rules she has lived by no longer apply. "The Serpent's Coil" is her journey into the heart of an ancient darkness that has coiled itself around our modern world. I invite you, the reader, to walk alongside her into the misty mountains and ask yourself what you would trust when faced with the impossible.
