Harssh Singh’s Ekaki is a riveting novel that blends history, folklore, and the supernatural. Set during the tense week leading to the British Club attack in Chittagong, a club notorious for its entrance sign, “Dogs and Indians Not Allowed”, the story plunges into the violent faction of the Bengal Freedom Movement.
At its heart is Rewa, a teenage village girl and daughter of freedom fighter Dabir, who possesses a chilling gift: she can foretell death by touch. A week before 24th September 1932, the night of the Club attack, an accidental touch reveals the deaths of those around her. For the first time, Rewa dares to challenge destiny to save her loved ones.
Her journey is perilous, threatened by dark forces eager to exploit her powers and the relentless assassin Davon, bent on destroying revolutionaries and capturing Rewa.
Cinematic and eerie, Ekaki weaves history, legend, horror, and action while exploring fate, power, and the afterlife. As Harssh Singh says, “Ekaki is immensely readable and Rewa is a haunting heroine for the youth. Brave and beautiful.”
