The Sorcery of the Senses

This is book one 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 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 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 of his past lives, only to lose it unwittingly each time. This stone upholds the power of the five senses and maintains the sanctity of reality as everyone knows it. The senses urge him to locate it, as the universe could disintegrate if the holy stone falls into the 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?
