Basalt Breath and Iron Veins,
A Panhala Mystery

Shadows are lengthening over the ancient stones of Panhala... and some secrets were never meant to be found.

When Manoj and Aditi, two inseparable friends and passionate young explorers, arrive at the historic Panhala Fort, they expect nothing more than a weekend of breathtaking views and marveled history. But when they stumble upon a cryptic clue hidden within the fort’s massive walls, their sightseeing trip transforms into a high-stakes race against time.

Unlike the treasure hunters who came before them, Manoj and Aditi share a deep reverence for the past. Their mission is clear: solve the mystery of the citadel without disturbing a single stone or risking the integrity of the heritage site they love.

As they navigate through hidden tunnels and decipher forgotten codes, they realize they aren't the only ones searching. Trapped between a group of ruthless looters and the silent whispers of history, the duo must use their wits, courage, and knowledge of the fort to protect the legend—and themselves.

In this pulse-pounding thriller, the greatest challenge isn’t just finding the truth—it’s ensuring the history of Panhala remains untouched.
