Burned by tragedy. Betrayed by blood. Bound by love.
Not all childhoods are filled with fond memories. Some are engulfed in flames and a silence that sears the soul.
Thee Forged Butterfly is the life story of Raaga, a girl whose world burned in a moment that rewrote her fate. From then on, she faced loss, betrayal, rejection, and battles she never chose to fight.
Erased from family trees. Raised yet never embraced. Abandoned but unbroken. She searched for love, a family, and a home.
Haunted by guilt and a secret that destroyed her, she rebuilt herself from fragments of love and stubborn hope.
Just when she reached for her sky, the ground crumbled beneath her again. Fate never knocks; it tears through uninvited. Could Raaga learn to fly through it?
Told with raw honesty and aching beauty, this memoir traces Raaga’s metamorphosis from fire to flight.
Resilience is not inherited. It is forged.
Turn the first page. You will not leave unchanged. You will not forget her. And perhaps, you may even find a piece of yourself.
An exquisite and deeply meaningful tapestry of lived trauma and resilience, an intense exploration of the agony and ecstasy of existence, this is a powerfully evocative story of a myriad hues that you will always carry in your heart.
– Anuja Chandramouli, Bestselling Author & Mythologist
An unputdownable story that breaks something open inside you and leaves you standing in the raw truth of being alive. It speaks to anyone who’s ever had to rebuild from nothing and still dared to love the world again.

Logambal Raaga Sundaram
Thēe Forged Butterfly is the debut memoir of Logambal Raaga Sundaram, born from memories that were too heavy to carry alone and too meaningful to bury. Raaga believes that real life holds a beauty that fiction cannot imitate, and that lived stories have the power to move, heal, and stay.
Raaga walks through life with an inward gaze, sensing its unspoken truths and the echoes of memory that hum beneath it. Her writing grows from lived experience, shaped by an unflinching honesty that feels deeply human. Each page carries tenderness and resilience, voiced by a woman who has felt the world burn and bloom.
Finding purpose in the journey that tested and transformed her is at the heart of her storytelling. She believes that even the hardest experiences can carve strength, and her work reminds us that life can break us, and it can remake us.
