Nandiborn: The Impossible Courtyard

Arush is eighteen, late for everything, and convinced every problem has a shortcut-until one leads somewhere that should not exist.Hidden between Devnagar's ageing lanes and Suryanagar's glass towers is a courtyard no map can contain. At its centre sits a silent stone Nandi. One touch leaves Arush able to move with impossible speed, carry impossible weight, and redirect force.But force has to go somewhere.With Mira-a brilliant physics student who once lived only at the edge of his attention-Arush begins testing the bronze power and the rules behind it. Then Suryanagar starts failing: hospital lights flicker, old infrastructure breaks in patterns, and a man who has uncovered another piece of the city's buried mystery is willing to risk thousands of lives to prove the system was broken long before he touched it.To protect his sister, his family, and the city that raised him, Arush must learn that being strong enough to act is not the same as knowing where the danger should go.A contemporary Indian urban fantasy blending superhero action, family secrets, slow-burn romance, and a hidden-temple mystery beneath a modern city.Enter the impossible courtyard.
