On her twenty-second birthday, a terminally ill young woman lies in a Monaco hospital bed and pens a final, unsent letter to the father who cut down her childhood lemon tree to make room for his cars. From the rusting swings of a once-private amusement park to the barbed-wire walls of a Riviera mansion that swallowed love in silence, she conjures memories of Noel (the lanky gateman who guarded his stomach more than the gate), Aunty Margarita (the cook whose pots sang lullabies), and a brother lost to boarding-school exile. She remembers the day she fled on a Qatar flight, the years of rowing through foreign cities, and the moment death began walking up the Côte d’Azur to claim her. Now, with Chris her poet-chip seller—holding her hand and the scent of jacaranda on the angel’s wings, she forgives the man who never looked back, asks only to be remembered as the girl beneath the fallen tree, and signs the letter simply: Your daughter, Always. A single, devastating breath of literary family tragedy where every word is an oar, every silence a wave, and the shore is both ending and home.

“Some doors are locked for a reason. Some secrets survive because they were never meant to be found.” Thriller writer Nidhi Agarwal wanted only one thing from Manali — silence. A quiet guesthouse buried beneath snow seemed perfect for escaping deadlines, memories, and the noise of Delhi. Until she learns the lower wing isn’t empty. A man named Raghav Sheth appears at impossible hours, hides too many secrets, and watches the world like he’s waiting for something to happen. The locals avoid questions. Strange sounds echo through the wooden halls at night. And the deeper Nidhi digs, the more she realizes her fictional thrillers may have prepared her for one terrifying truth: Someone in that house is lying. As storms close the roads and danger inches closer, trust becomes a weapon — and attraction becomes the deadliest mistake of all. Because in Manali, buried secrets don’t stay buried forever. "CODE:FALCON". Every code has a price.

In 2085, the Institute of Quantum Physics in the Desert in Nevada, USA detected an abnormal time fluctuation. Astrophysicist Erin Carter discovered that Earth's time is reset in a cycle of 72 hours, and the only thing that retains memory is a group of "awakeners" whose brains are not erased by time due to the quantum entanglement effect. As the investigation deepened, Erin discovered that the source of the cycle was a "time cocoon" device from 12 billion light years away, deployed by an alien civilization called "Silent". The silent believe that any civilization that cannot break through the shackles of time should be eliminated to maintain the order of the entropy increase in the universe. Meanwhile, American society is in chaos due to the cycle: the rich try to monopolize reset the rules, the doomsday carnival broke out in slums, and the government plans to destroy the cocoon with nuclear weapons. Erin must join forces with the Awakener to crack the time code for a limited time and answer the ultimate question - is human beings worthy of being tolerated by the universe?
