Mohak_Singh_0666
In "The Whispering Shadow," twelve-year-old Haru and her younger brother Yuto are sent to stay with their Aunt Akiko in the remote village of Shiroyama. While exploring the forest, they encounter a mysterious and terrifying figure—a tall woman with hollow eyes, known as the Whispering Shadow. Aunt Akiko explains that this spirit has been known to lure children into the woods, where they disappear without a trace. Fearing for their safety, Aunt Akiko takes every precaution to protect the children, including using salt and a bell to ward off the spirit. That night, as the family huddles together, the Whispering Shadow tries to enter the house, whispering the children's names and causing a chilling disturbance. They resist the spirit's eerie call until morning, when their parents finally return to take them away. As they leave Shiroyama, Haru and Yuto are warned never to return to the forest, for the Whispering Shadow is always watching, waiting for her next victims.

The Leper King's Healer

After a tragic accident that sent her back 845 years in time to the year 1177, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken. She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak. Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court. Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
