The Reluctant Alpha and His Sassy Queen

The Reluctant Alpha and His Sassy Queen

The paper curled the moment it kissed the flame. Scarlet didn’t hesitate. She pressed the notebook harder into the candlelight, watching as the edges blackened, the ink blistering and fading into nothing. The words she’d bled onto those pages...plans, filth, fear, secrets...warped and vanished in a hiss. Ronan was still struggling with his shirt, fabric caught over his head like a damn blindfold. She tossed the burning book into the fireplace. And screamed.

Cycle of Cliches

Cycle of Cliches

During that walk back home, the hand-written manuscript of my first completed story (going by the length, it would have been a novella), the yearning for The Booker, the aspiration of batting like Sachin, the fantasy of writing a story for my best friend’s film, the vision of the hilltop cottage, bringing Deuta’s murderers to justice – everything that made up my existence – felt like a heavy burden. I stayed up the night feigning studies and waiting for Nisim to start snoring. Around midnight, when almost everyone was asleep in our building, I quietly sneaked out of the bed, grabbed the manuscript of my novella and my cricket kit, went out in the lawn and set them on fire. The flames rose up

His Mate's Silent Cry

His Mate's Silent Cry

"H-how? I remember perfectly well when you were swimming in the burning flames of the poisonous fire." Amethyst muttered under her breath, still analysing the black covers of the big, bold book that she knew she burnt a few months ago. Her hands trembled at its heaviness — at how fresh and old it smelled. Old tales and unknown prophecies were still lingering on every page she turned over.

I had thought that it would burn me – taking a peek at the two women who were with me, they were back away from the fire, Leah patted the small flame that got on her pants, Lyv helping her put it out. I could still feel the heat, but what was odd was that the flames didn’t burn me. I lowered my hands slowly, looking at the book – now burning yet the pages were intact. My heart beat fast as I walked back to the podium. I blink, there was something new. I blinked again. I rubbed it, feeling the sting I had felt when Leah brought me to Neverwhere.

WHILE I BURN FOR YOU

WHILE I BURN FOR YOU

CHAPTER 76: WITH RELATION TO THE DEVIL ZAHRA'S POV The fire crackled softly in the corner of the room, casting a warm glow on the nearby furniture. I lay on the couch in Dashiell's estate, my limbs heavy with weakness. The familiar scent of the leather seats mixed with the faint smell of ginseng still emitting from my clothes. I traced a finger along the bandage on my forehead, my thoughts drifting back to Davina pinning me against the altar stone, and her vile perverted touches. The disgusting way she spoke, and the feeling of her tongue trailing up my neck, still haunted me.

Crash and Burn: A Love Story

Crash and Burn: A Love Story

"Why would a young woman like you need to live in such a big apartment? You're not getting any younger either. Who knows if you can still get married? You might as well transfer the apartment to Harrison, considering he's been dating you all these years. "Once he and Anna have a child, you can be the child's godmother. That way, you won't have to be completely alone in your old age. That would be so pathetic." Her greedy demands made me sneer. My eyes fell on the bowl of chicken soup on the table. It was still steaming a little. Smiling faintly, I hastened over to the table and grabbed the bowl before pouring the soup all over Anna's mother. Before she even realized what was happening, the s

The Inevitable Blaze

"What else? I wish I had cooking necessities and equipments at our dormitory, I would have cooked my boredom away. I'm going to read my novels or watch some cooking lessons online." "I don't know how you do that sincerely. I can't read romance novels because I can't stand the steamy scenes. I'll be horny almost every time." She scrunched up her face. "You're so silly. I don't picture myself when reading, I just enjoy reading them generally making a fantasy of the characters in my head, I watch them enjoy it in my head." She chuckled. That soft chuckle, but it didn't make her face lit up as it always did when she cooked.

Betrayed by the Alpha

Betrayed by the Alpha

I stretch my hand out to him. “What for?” “In case you don’t return it on the date you wrote in the permission booklet, I’ll toss your card away and you’ll never step back in again.” He mumbles ‘bitch’ under his breath, dips his hand into his pocket and pulls out his card and hands it to me. I beam at him, and he rolls his eyes before leaving. I pray he doesn’t return it, so I can happily toss this into the toilet and flush. I sit down and pick up the novel ‘When star burns by Ninya Tippett’ on my desk, continuing from where I stopped before I got interrupted. Books such as these make me believe in love and that everyone would find it at the right time.

Frequently Asked Questions

The author of 'The Burning' is Megha Majumdar. I came across her work while browsing through a list of contemporary novels that tackle social issues, and her name immediately stood out. Majumdar has this unique ability to weave complex narratives that feel both intimate and expansive. Her writing style is sharp, almost surgical, cutting straight to the heart of the characters and their struggles. I remember reading an interview where she mentioned how she draws inspiration from real-life events, and that authenticity really shines through in 'The Burning.'

What I find fascinating about Majumdar is her background. She was born in India and later moved to the United States, which gives her a dual perspective that enriches her storytelling. In 'The Burning,' she explores themes of ambition, morality, and the consequences of our choices, all set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. The way she portrays the characters’ internal conflicts is so vivid, it’s like you’re right there with them, feeling their dilemmas and triumphs.

I also appreciate how Majumdar doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths. Her characters are flawed, often making decisions that are hard to justify, yet you can’t help but empathize with them. It’s this moral ambiguity that makes 'The Burning' such a compelling read. The novel doesn’t offer easy answers, and that’s what I love about it. It forces you to think, to question your own beliefs and assumptions. Majumdar’s ability to create such a thought-provoking narrative is a testament to her skill as a writer.

Another aspect of Majumdar’s work that I admire is her attention to detail. The settings in 'The Burning' are so vividly described, you can almost smell the air and feel the heat. It’s clear that she puts a lot of thought into every word, every sentence, making sure that each element of the story serves a purpose. This meticulousness is what sets her apart from other authors in the genre. Reading 'The Burning' was an experience that stayed with me long after I turned the last page, and I’m eagerly looking forward to her next work.
