About Me

I started my writing journey in 2023 when I came up with an idea for a fantasy action novel in a university setting. I was disappointed in the lack of South Asian protagonists in the fantasy genre, so I’m committed to sharing stories that feature characters of color. Read on for a synopsis of my current work in progress!

Eighteen year-old Nisha Ravichandran has dreamt of escaping stifling, prejudiced Eddistown for as long as she can remember. She might not have money or connections, but she does have a plan: 1.) Show proof that she has water magic, just like her father, so that she can declare herself a Seasonal. 2.) Attend Meteora University, the most prestigious academic institution for Seasonals. 3.) Graduate in four years and use her degree to get a job far, far away from Eddistown. But when Nisha discovers that she has fall magic, a trait that up until now has only belonged to people not like her—white people, she knows she’s bound to attract trouble at Meteora.

Unwilling to give up on her dream, Nisha commits to Meteora’s College of Fall despite knowing nothing about how to be an Autumnal. Yet tough classes, racist peers, and uncooperative powers are the least of her worries as minority students around campus succumb to a series of attacks that mysteriously leave them powerless.

When Nisha herself becomes the latest victim of an attack, she quickly realizes that scraping by unnoticed at Meteora is not an option. But to stop the attacks, Nisha must embrace her newfound powers and work with her friends—and enemies—before she and her classmates lose their magic, or worse, their lives.
