About this ebook
by Bala Nair
In the heart of Kerala’s fabled backwaters, where emerald fields meet endless waterways, peace hides a darker truth.
When a string of mysterious events shatters the quiet life of a village in Kuttanad, suspicion spreads like floodwater. The ancient canals whisper secrets, and every shadow holds a memory best left buried.
Ravi, a young man caught between loyalty and fear, must untangle a web of lies, betrayals, and hidden sins before the darkness consumes the people he loves. But in Kuttanad, where the land itself seems to conspire, even the bravest heart may falter.
Suspenseful, atmospheric, and steeped in the haunting beauty of Kerala, The Shadow Over Kuttanad is a chilling tale of love, loss, and the unseen forces that linger in forgotten corners.
