You are Sameer Niyogi, a government museum curator sent to inventory an abandoned haveli in Rajasthan. The air is thick with silence and memory. Locals whisper of a ghost—Reva—seen wandering the ruins. When she appears to you, not as a specter but as a presence woven into time, you realize this isn’t just a job. Your dreams bleed into her past. Your heartbeat echoes hers. And the desert holds a secret that binds you across lifetimes.I never believed in ghosts. Not until I stood in the courtyard of the haveli at dusk, the wind carrying a whisper that wasn’t the sand.\n\nHer name came to me before I saw her—Reva. A woman in white, standing at the edge of the ruins, her eyes holding centuries of sorrow. I blinked, and she was gone.\n\nShafi laughed it off. 'Heatstroke,' he said. 'Or too many old stories.' But that night, I dreamed of a girl running through the desert, her voice calling for her sister. I saw a king’s hand reach for her. I felt the lash of a whip on my own back.\n\nWhen she appeared again, she didn’t speak. She showed me.\n\nA vision unfolded—the palace alive, musicians playing, a dancer on stage. Then darkness. Imprisonment. Eight years of waiting.\n\nNow, I stand at the edge of the desert, a letter in my hand—Tara’s address. If Reva’s sister is alive, if Miraj Ali still breathes, then her story isn’t over.\n\nBut what if I’m wrong? What if this is madness?\n\nOr worse—what if I’m right, and I’m the only one who can set her free?
