How did 1500 residents of a village in India disappear practically overnight? Is there really a curse that’s endured for hundreds of years?
Tate and Aria’s mission is simple: Find the energy portal in the long-deserted village of Kuldhara, and see where it goes within the earth. They dive eagerly into the task even though an archaic legend claims the place is both cursed and haunted.
And things are simple…until the wife of a Danish ambassador requests—more like demands—their help recovering the Florentine diamond, missing since the end of WWII. The appeal is easy to ignore; after all, they don’t know this woman. Don’t care about giant diamonds. But lives are put on the line and the portal-seeking expedition must take a detour.
That’s when things go sideways; thugs shoot, the diamond is stolen, the ambassador’s daughter is exposed. Once the dust settles, why does the ambassador deny ever seeing the stone?
Haunted or not, Tate and Aria are determined to find the Kuldhara portal. Why is someone following them? Has the curse come to life? Who is Vihaan Singh, the ancient Indian who imparts the real reason the original villagers left? And it’s got nothing to do with a curse.
