Harssh Singh’s Ekaki is a masterful blend of Historical and supernatural elements, set against the vibrant yet tumultuous backdrop of 1930s India. At the heart of this remarkable debut lies Rewa, a 14-year-old girl whose extraordinary ability to foresee mortality isolates her, rendering her both feared and misunderstood. Through her journey, Singh crafts a poignant tale of self-discovery, resilience, and the complexities of human connection.

Rewa’s personal struggles are intricately intertwined with India’s broader fight for independence, creating a narrative that is both intimate and epic. Singh’s deft storytelling seamlessly weaves themes of destiny, free will, and sacrifice into a richly textured portrayal of a nation on the brink of revolution. Rewa’s relationship with her father, Dabir, serves as an emotional anchor, highlighting themes of unconditional love and courage amidst chaos.

The novel’s antagonist, Davon, a cunning British operative, provides a gripping counterpoint, elevating the stakes and immersing readers in a web of poIitical intrigue and moral dilemmas. Singh’s evocative prose captures both the grandeur and grit of the era, transporting readers into a world fraught with uncertainty yet brimming with hope.

More than a supernatural thriller, Ekaki is a profound exploration of the human spirit, questioning the burden of knowledge and the meaning of choice. Singh's debut is an enthralling, genre-defying triumph, leaving readers reflective and inspired. For fans of historical fiction, supernatural suspense, or stories of personal transformation, Ekaki is an unmissable literary gem.
