Book Description
Nissoor since ages has been known for its ostrobogulous and mysterious practice of burying the empty coffins. What did they do with the corpse? Some believed that the Nissoorians cremated their dead ones and kept their bones carved into knives and pendants as their memory and buried an empty coffin of their name in the graveyard. And a few believed, they sacrificed the corpses to perform the Satanic rituals. Rumors even suggested, the Nissoorians were cannibals and fed on the dead bodies. Although none of them had a concrete evidence, the cannibal theory was believed the most but no one knew the real truth behind the mysterious burial. Many outsiders including the reporters, in the past, had tried to unveil the contained secret but sadly, were handed with the same old conspiracies. Consider it a trailer of the coming up novel NISSOOR: THE MYSTERIOUS VILLAGE. Although a trailer, you'll enjoy reading it.

Book Description
Young Tessa is a diminutive girl, far too small for farm work and the object of ridicule by both her own family and the other children in their isolated Midwestern community. Her father seems to believe in nothing beyond his crops, certainly not education for his misfit daughter. When a mysterious, entrancing librarian comes to town, full of fabulous stories, earthy wisdom and potions for the lovelorn, she takes Tessa under her wing, teaching her to read and to believe in herself—and a whole new magical world of possibilities opens up. But even as she blooms, Tessa’s father begins sexually abusing her. And her mentor carries a dark secret of her own that finally causes her to drown herself. Tessa runs off, following Mary’s footsteps, to join the circus as a trapeze artist, where she marries a loving man and finds a fulfilling life for herself amidst her new circus family. But she remains haunted by her past. And when a stranger from one of Mary’s fabulist tales shows up, Tessa risks everything to follow him to Rain Village, where she might finally discover her mentor’s tragic secret. A brilliantly evocative debut set in the early part of the 20th century, steeped in emotional turbulence and down-to-earth wisdom, where a young woman must reconcile the inner traumas from her past and learn to live in the present in order to avoid becoming prisoner to her future. Rain Village casts a fabulous spell, pulling us into a world of mystery and possibility where love, friendship and loyalty might either destroy or set one free.
