Through peace, it’s justice we seek!
The hunter will meet the fate of the hunted
And the mighty will serve the meek!
Twenty years ago, a corrupt President, a greedy industrialist, and a sycophant policeman uprooted the tribal people from their own land and burned their houses. Twenty years later, the Republic of Bodh is in danger from a similar evil troika.
The curse uttered by a frail tribal woman during the carnage twenty years ago has inspired Jwaala, the only female leader in the Senate, to reform the Republic of Bodh.
But the same curse has turned Saaya, once an innocent victim of the massacre, into a relentless killing machine with a mission to prey on the predators.
Even when the Republic spirals into a storm of scandals, the greedy and corrupt President Chaupat is torn between his lust for a dancer and his unrequited passion for his wife Kaamini.
Will Saaya succeed in his mission or will Chaupat thwart his efforts?
Will Jwaala, orphaned in a violent attack, be able to turn the curse for the greedy into a blessing for the poor? Will she succeed to save the Republic from another ensuing bloodshed?
The Curse is a gritty political thriller about people who have lost much to greed but want to transform their nation.

Review By TBC Reviewer
The Curse - A Dystopian Thriller is a fast-paced, typical political story with the usual formula of politics, sex, deceit, corruption, revenge, and money, not to forget suspense and mystery.
This is the first time I have read Author Randeep Wadehra’s work and I definitely loved reading it. Though the language used is little on the high end, I did refer to dictionary many times for meaning of some words but the book is definitely worth a read.
The characters are well-etched but a little complex, story plot little high on suspense side but the author definitely has done a commendable job on bringing out in-depths what and how corrupt and power and wealth hungry politicians work. Also, I loved the used of characters name corresponding to their person, like Justice Insaaf, DGP Kotwal, Chaupat, Daulat, Jwaala, Yodha, Saaya etc.
But I was left guessing with some aspects as what is Kaamini's background? How the murder of Justice Insaaf was plotted and executed? And there is no description as of how was Shikar's mom is killed and what had happened on that unfateful night?
If all these also were mentioned it would have taken the story to another level and added more flavor too.
Even though it is not an easy read, but still I would recommend The Curse - A Dystopian Thriller as must read as I loved the writing style, flawless editing, the complexity of whole story plot.
