Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A haunting inheritance. An unforgiving grief. A debt one hundred and fifty years overdue.When architect Maya Deshpande inherits a crumbling colonial-era coffee plantation in the misty hills of Wayanad, Kerala, she plans only to sell it and return to her life in New York. But Ashworth House does not let go so easily. Beneath its ancient banyan tree waits a Yakshi - the restless spirit of a woman named Malini, betrayed and erased by the estate's British owner a century and a half ago, still watching from the mist, from cracked mirrors, from the edges of old family photographs.As Maya uncovers a diary of colonial cowardice, an unmarked grave in the forest, and a truth no one has dared speak aloud in generations, she must decide: run, like everyone in her family before her - or finally give a wronged woman and her lost daughter the one thing they were always denied. Their names.Blending atmospheric Gothic horror with South Indian folklore, Yakshi of the Plantation is a slow-burn ghost story about memory, inheritance, and the debts that outlive the people who owed them - perfect for readers of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic and lovers of haunted-house fiction rooted in real cultural mythology.7 Keywords- Gothic horror novel- Haunted house fiction- South Indian folklore horror- Yakshi ghost story- Colonial-era supernatural fiction- Slow-burn horror novel- Kerala plantation ghost story
