In the fog-wrapped mountain town of Dhariva, sixteen-year-old Aarav Singh dreams of escape—not just from poverty, but from obscurity itself. Brilliant, obsessive, and burning with ambition, he sees academic excellence as the only path to lift his family out of generations of quiet failure. But when he qualifies for an elite national science fellowship, his world begins to unravel in ways no textbook could explain.
Late-night visions. Whispered warnings. A masked figure who seems to know more about Aarav’s past than he does himself.
As Aarav delves deeper into a web of academic conspiracies, lost memories, and psychological manipulation, he uncovers a hidden society known only as The Order—a clandestine collective operating beneath prestigious institutions, experimenting on young minds to bend reality itself.
Torn between ambition and paranoia, sanity and the surreal, Aarav must confront the darkest parts of his psyche to survive. Because the truth isn’t just twisted—it’s alive.
And it’s watching him.
The Serpent’s Heir is a mind-bending thriller about identity, obsession, and the cost of chasing greatness in a world built on secrets.
