Sarna: Sadhana of the Crimson Cloth

Six Indian friends reunite in the Scottish Highlands, expecting nostalgia and selfies, not a haunting. At the bottom of Ananya Iyer's suitcase lies a family heirloom wrapped in crimson cloth: an old Tantra Vidya text her grandmother has forbidden her to open.In their cliff top villa known locally as the Watching House, an ancient legend clings to the shore: an Eastern wanderer who has walked the tideline for centuries, waiting for the right bloodline to return. When a night in a seaside cave turns into a ritual gone terrifyingly wrong, the group is dragged into the unfinished working of Bhairav Nath, a practitioner who tried to turn human love into immortal fuel.From a mist drowned Scottish coast to an ashram above Rishikesh and an old house in Chennai, Ananya must decide how far love should go to defy death and what it means when love itself is what the darkness wants.
