  Medieval Exorcisms: The History...

  In the 21st century, most people associate the idea of the possession of a person or place by a malevolent supernatural entity with the medieval world and particularly with the Catholic Church, but the truth is considerably stranger. Virtually every human culture that has ever existed has talked about both possession and exorcism, a rite or ritual used to free a person or place from possession. The terms used to describe the process of possession and entities thought to be responsible have changed throughout history, but the central theory does not. In certain circumstances, it is said that a person, place, or object may become inhabited by an entity that comes from somewhere else. The outcome is generally negative and sometimes even fatal. The only effective remedy is exorcism, the banishment of the entity involved to the place from which it came. 
  Some branches of modern psychology suggests that possession is simply a form of mental illness and that all these cases can be explained in psychological terms. But, as you will see, there appears to be a remarkable consistency in reports of possessions and even witness reports of possessed people demonstrating remarkable powers and abilities. It is difficult to explain those things purely in terms of psychology.

  Meet Itika Benegal, 31, single. Itika spirals towards a hasty resignation from a firm she had reluctantly joined eight months ago. Reason? Her invisible dent. Men.  Two decades of her life have gone sleep-walking through a painful past. Dimming her own shine, making herself invisible in plain sight. How? Oversized clothes & lack-lustre appearance  are her weapons of camouflage. She has no friends, no boy-friends, no dating history or social media presence. Itika has turned on the airplane mode in her life, wanting no attention from the world. But life suddenly decides to go rogue on her, sending her the perfect antidote for her darkness. Meet Sunny Nair, 38, single, accomplished, and the most influential partner of ANB & Associates. The angry-young man is all out to destroy Itika Benegal's nascent career, the very night he is introduced to her in an office party. Reason? His invisible dent. Women. Sunny has spent two decades of his solitary life in flamboyance. Wanting women, more importantly the broken ones.  
  Sunny makes one terrible mistake. Believing Itika is broken.  
  Set in a corporate landscape, the story will transport you into the minds of two competing lawyers, while journeying into the realms of their lesser-known sides. As Sunny & Itika collide in a strange encounter do they realise that they have more in common than meets the eye. Will Sunny & Itika be able to soften their rough edges and find a home in each other? Or will the shards of their painful past turn them into bleeding hearts in motion?  
  Some journeys are insane. Especially the ones that begin at a dead-end. Brace for impact.

  In book 2, newly orphaned Rose finds herself time-traveling between present day and the court of the two most memorable English princesses in history.
