This is book 1 of the series 'The Sorcery of the Senses' where we get to see protagonist Dhruv's interactions with three of the senses, Dristi(sight), Sparsha(touch), and Ghraan(smell).
Dhruv is on the brink of middle age when he loses his parents in quick succession. Then he has to go through a messy divorce with Juthika. As Dhruv struggles to find meaning in his bland existence he stumbles upon an antique piece of jewellery that leads him to a different realm where the senses come alive.
Dristi, the sense of vision helps him to look back at a past life when Dhruv was Ghriz, a tribal girl blessed with extraordinary powers of the eye.
Sparsha, the sense of touch meets Dhruv next, helping him to look back on another lifetime when Dhruv was Mong, a girl with special powers of touch.
Dhruv got hold of an all-powerful holy stone in both the past lives, only to lose it unwittingly each time. This stone upholds the power of the five senses and maintains the sanctity of the reality as everyone knows it. The senses urge him to locate it as the universe could disintegrate if the holy stone falls into wrong hands.
With no one by his side and no clue to aid him, will Dhruv be able to take up the challenge? How will he react to the revelations of his past failures? Can he recover the holy stone in his current lifetime?
Read the fast-paced and unconventional fantasy novel The Sorcery of the Senses to explore a completely new view of the world.
The next book in this series is slated to come out in 2024.

Review :
Very interesting story. Sometimes a little trope but a great read overall. The plot flows beautifully and there is enough suspense to keep you in your toes. The characters were realistic and likeable and it had a good mix of everything you need ina good novel. This is the first book published by this author and it doesnot disappoint. All I can say Is I did judge the cover initially thing it would be an easily written of 3 star novel but after reading the novel I wanted to give author a go and support her. The language of the book is simple and easy to understand. The overall book kept me engaged and the ending make me want to read more.
Definitely recommend this book.
