The Curse of the Maharani | A Supernatural Horror Thriller | Neil D’Silva

From the bestselling author of Yakshini comes a chilling new gothic horror masterpiece that will keep you turning pages long into the night.

The Ruhera family’s crumbling ancestral haveli in the former princely state of Samantipur has finally found a buyer. Young Samika and her family are summoned to the estate for a final family reunion before the property is sold forever. For Samika, this is the perfect opportunity to uncover the mystery of her father’s sudden, unexplained disappearance fifteen years ago.

But the moment she steps inside, murky family secrets from the past begin to unravel. Local rumors claim that Maharani Urvashi, an infamous senior queen from the Ruhera family tree, is now the haveli’s resident ghost. As unsettling hauntings intensify, a terrifying generational curse becomes impossible to ignore: for decades, the men of the Ruhera family have died under brutal, unexplained circumstances—always right after the birth of a son.

With a new heir now on the way, the past claws its way into the present. Will the Maharani’s curse claim its next victim, or can the cycle be broken to reveal a chilling truth? Master storyteller Neil D’Silva delivers an atmosphere-heavy narrative leading up to an epic, climactic supernatural battle that challenges the very foundation of the Ruhera dynasty.
