Maelstrom is a novel that centers on plots that, whilst being profound and intense, are also shrouded in mystery and suspense. The multi-faceted challenges of love, horrific experiences, human fragility and aspirations are told through the hearts and minds of an enigmatic cast of characters- for Chahana and Hiral, to expose injustices, for Kalpita, to achieve her dream whilst others seek to escape their mental demons through cunning and deceitful schemes that lead to surprising outcomes. The second edition of Maelstrom triumph overs both fact and fiction and takes the readers on a rollercoaster of human emotions that veer from truth to fantasy, dreams to nightmares, illusions to delusions and conveys just what it means to: - the reality of being human!
