To The Unknown Realms: Novel
Two boys and a girl, and a cryptic message coming through three generations in the form of a chess board with an impossible play engraved on it. Journey to the unknown realms in search of the treasure that can be recovered only by the chosen one! The novel is set in the background of a huge ancestral mansion, 200 years old, in a remote village in Kerala, India.
This is the story of three cousins, two boys and a girl. The two boys Kuttan and Nandan chance upon a copper chess board with chess pieces engraved in it suggesting a play in progress. The King is checkmated, but then they realize that such an end game cannot be possible. This realization catapults them to a turbulent but exciting saga of investigations and explorations. The girl, who is sister of the elder cousin, joins them later on but only after the boys have already endured much.
Many a thing that occurs in the attic or outside of the ancestral home cannot be comprehended using the yard-stick of rationality. At times you feel that it must be just the manifestation of feelings of a particular person, a specter. But when the same thing happens to others too it cannot be ruled out as just illusory.
The hunt extents to the fourth generation. It's Nandan's 16 year old daughter, who revives the hope of finding the treasure after a break of many years.
Some sketches are included as in any treasure hunting novel. The sketches are not to scale and included only to give fairly good idea of the ground situation. This book is meant for children as well as adults. Age doesn’t stand in the way of enjoyment of this book.
