The chocolate was left at her doorstep—no note, no wrapper, just a perfect square with a faint gold shimmer. Ira didn’t remember ordering anything sweet, but something about the piece called to her. It smelled like burnt caramel and forest rain. Odd, but inviting. She took it inside, placed it on a ceramic plate, and stared. Midnight struck. Her phone buzzed—\Eat it. Now.\The number was unknown.

Eye opening. Enriching. The rich complexity of medieval royal life on the Deccan plateau revealed.
Some stories don’t need grand settings or explosive twists to leave a lasting mark—they just need truth.
