In the grand halls of the Virellia estate, a ducal household where status is everything and secrets run deep, Mallory begins her quiet life as a laundry maid. But her days of folding linens and scrubbing gowns take a sharp turn when tragedy strikes: Prince Azrail, the enigmatic firstborn of the ducal family, is found dead under suspicious circumstances.

While many whisper of treachery, Mallory isn't convinced. Driven by curiosity and a sharp mind unnoticed by those above her, she begins to unravel the truth behind the first prince's death-only to discover that this isn't the first strange coincidence surrounding him.

Fiercely determined and guided by a hunger for justice, Mallory dares to look where others avert their gaze-no matter what she finds.

The idea for "The Doctrine" came to me while reading about the early days of public anatomical theaters in Europe. I was fascinated by the intersection of science and religion during the 17th century, when medical knowledge was advancing but still heavily restricted by Church doctrine.

What struck me most was how women were completely excluded from this scientific revolution. I wondered: What if a determined young woman found a way to participate? The character of Clara emerged from this question—a butcher's daughter with practical knowledge of anatomy who yearns for something more than her predetermined future.

Setting the story in Leiden in 1612 felt perfect. During its Golden Age, the Dutch Republic was experiencing both religious tensions and scientific advancement. The city's famous university was attracting scholars from across Europe, creating an environment where new ideas could flourish—albeit cautiously.

At its heart, this is a story about a young woman who disguises herself as a man to attend Europe's first public dissection, only to discover her mentor is hiding revolutionary medical knowledge that challenges the Church's teaching. As Clara navigates the dangerous world of scientific discovery, gender barriers, and religious scrutiny, she must make difficult choices about truth, loyalty, and her own future.

The Lost Patriot follows Professor Harshad Mehta, a devoted Indian independence activist who seizes an unexpected opportunity to fake his death in 1946 when authorities close in on his underground network. Assuming the identity of Ahmed Khan, he builds a quiet new life in what he doesn't realize has become Pakistan after partition.

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Indian subcontinent's division, this poignant historical drama explores the profound irony of a freedom fighter who misses witnessing the very independence he fought for. As Ahmed establishes himself as a respected bookkeeper in a small Pakistani village, his rescue of a stray cat leads to a meaningful connection with Fatima, a local widow, and her children.

His carefully constructed world unravels when he gradually discovers the stunning truth: India achieved independence in 1947, but was partitioned into two nations along religious lines—the very division he and his fellow activists had fought against. Faced with the choice to reclaim his true identity or embrace his new life, Harshad/Ahmed must reconcile his revolutionary past with his peaceful present.

The Lost Patriot is a moving exploration of identity, purpose, and belonging that asks whether a person's significance lies in their name and achievements or in the quiet dignity of the life they build and the connections they forge.

Born from vivid, intertwined dreams, this story unveils a servant and king trapped in an obsessive dance of love, power, and infatuation...
