When history and danger collide, the fire never dies.

At the prestigious Royal Institute of Historical Studies (RIHS), the sudden disappearance of a renowned historian shatters academic routine and exposes a silence carefully preserved for centuries. What begins as a missing scholar soon leads to something far more dangerous—a lost Chola bronze, deliberately erased from history.

Priyanshi Mehra, a determined postgraduate researcher, and Nakul Roy, a brilliant but cautious young academic, are drawn into an investigation that stretches from modern Delhi to the shadowed corridors of ancient South Indian temples. As they follow fragmented inscriptions, censored archives, and half-buried legends, they uncover a conspiracy that powerful institutions would rather keep forgotten.

The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: some truths were never meant to survive.

Blending historical mystery, academic politics, and quiet romance, The Chola Secret is a gripping thriller about memory, power, and the cost of uncovering the past—where history is not just studied, but fought over.

A missing bronze.
A forgotten conspiracy.
A dangerous truth.
