Black Canvas

About the Book

Masira Singh considers herself, an ordinary teenager with an ordinary life until bizarre dreams and unexplainable chills begin plaguing her. As her dreams lead her into a mountain village where she is greeted by a boy, a series of unimaginable incidents slowly begin to turn her life upside down. While she attempts to learn why she is being tested, Masira is left with agonizing choices. Unsure of her place in the giant scheme of things she seeks help, only to find herself alone in a place where even her best friend refuses to trust her. In a battle between the logical and the probable; between the established and the intuited, Masira was torn, alone and in danger. She must determine if she was making the right choices or was simply being misled only to put herself and those she loves in danger by taking a risky course. But how will she decide where her duty lies, especially when everything is at stake and no one believes her story? In this shadowy tale, an ordinary teenager has to make extraordinary choices in a challenging battle between reality and a dream world to learn the truth, before it is too late.

About the Author

Kriti Gangwar has penned many poems and stories. She wrote her first novel, Black Canvas, in whatever free time she got while she was in college, learning medicine. She has a keen interest in metaphysics and wonders about decoding dreams, and she and her friends often discussed the subject over late night tea in the hostel they stayed in — an experience that not only shaped the book, but also enriched it with bizarre things we believe in when our minds are young and full of possibilities. She currently resides in Toronto, Canada, where she is pursuing her passion for healthcare, literature and art.
