The Origins
Book one of a trilogy: the backstory of an heiress and a self-made man whose present-day collision demands an origin story.
Mauli Pasupati Raju stands to inherit a vast industrial empire that is quietly collapsing around her. Abheek Singh Shekhawat has nothing except the drive to build everything from scratch. When their paths cross, they bring to that moment years of formation the reader has not yet seen — and this novel goes back to show them.
The first book in a three-part series, The Origins is structured around a central question the present-tense story refuses to answer on its own: why are these two people who they are? Chaitra Anumula traces the formative pressures — the trials of a privileged existence that carries its own weight, the relentless climb of a man with no inherited ground to stand on — that shaped each character before they became the people at the centre of the story. The novel is as interested in motivation as it is in event: what drives someone to peak performance, and what does that hunger ultimately cost?
Readers who like their romance built on character depth rather than circumstance will find this opening volume a persuasive case for following these two people across all three books.
ABOUT THE BOOK: Mauli Abheek: The Origins is the first book in the three- part series that follows the journey of Mauli Pasupati Raju and Abheek Singh Shekhawat. One is the rich heiress of a huge industrial empire while the other is the proverbial son of soil. One will rise from the ashes of an almost collapsed empire, while the other will rise from nothing to heights of professional glory. The story begins right in the middle of all the action as Mauli grapples with hitherto unknown realities of her existence and Abheek, finally, can articulate his true feelings for Mauli. It lays bare their struggles through their formative years, the trials and tribulations of these two strong, self-made individuals, as they grapple with the gauntlet life throws at them. Why are these individuals the way they are? What motivates them to the absolute peak performance in their chosen fields? What propels their compulsive need for success; and what will ultimately bring them together? Find out the answers to these questions-and then some.
