Kartik left the system he believed quietly—too soon, too bruised, and too betrayed. College life was never the plan, but it became his escape.
Taken in by the Rao family, Kartik finds more than shelter—he finds a lifetime of love, laughter, and belonging. On campus, friendships with Tvesa and Aadhya begin to thaw the silence he carries. But can joy coexist with the weight of a buried past? His journey isn’t about forgetting—it’s about choosing how to live with what remains.
Who is the real enemy still walking free? What secrets lie within the relic his father left behind? And when love finally reaches him, will Kartik let it stay?

Sampath Kumar Pothuru
Sampath Kumar Pothuru, originally from Vijayawada and now settled in Hyderabad, brings a tech-savvy perspective shaped by years in the corporate world. Writing, however, has been his quiet passion. A lifelong lover of cricket and creative expression, he found in fiction a way to explore questions of identity, resilience, and belonging. Fading Into Light, his debut novel, grew out of his thought process; the need to examine how silence, scars, and choice shape a life. The story reflects not only his interest in human emotions under pressure but also his fascination with how ordinary people confront extraordinary circumstances.
