About Rahul Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi is the author of The Monk’s Curse and Remembering Home as well as other unpublished works of historical non-fiction. He is currently collaborating on a project with the author A. J. Duncan to create the fantasy world of Morrigan.
Rahul’s books are influenced by his interest in history, politics, geopolitics, and social justice. From these, he writes unique themes in his books. These books include books in the Literary, Mystery, Thriller, Historical Fiction, and Fantasy genres.
Rahul is a student and tutor in Johannesburg, South Africa. He is an Allan Gray Scholar. He studied Medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand. At present, he studies Law there, majoring in International Relations and Politics and minoring in French. He has been offered a place at the University of Cambridge to further study Human, Social, and Political Sciences. His education serves to further inform the themes of his works.
Throughout his career, Rahul has succeeded in many competitions with a focus on writing and speaking. The key theme underpinning these activities is history – something which Rahul enjoys and writes into his books.

Titles By Rahul Gandhi
Mikhail could not feel less alone.
His foster parents murdered in bloody succession, his last guardian killed, and Mikhail is spirited away to a mysterious castle. Isolated from the outside world in the stone cold fortress, he begins the search for his truth.
Placing his trust in a mysterious girl and her father, Mikhail must journey, following a series of journals, in search of the truth of his parentage, of the murdered foster parents, and of the organisation which now claims to protect him.
As he traverses snowy mountains, beautiful cities, and dark monasteries, he finds something far more sinister - an age-old curse, and a secret war.
Mikhail could not feel less alone.
His foster parents murdered in bloody succession, his last guardian killed, and Mikhail is spirited away to a mysterious castle. Isolated from the outside world in the stone cold fortress, he begins the search for his truth.
Placing his trust in a mysterious girl and her father, Mikhail must journey, following a series of journals, in search of the truth of his parentage, of the murdered foster parents, and of the organisation which now claims to protect him.
As he traverses snowy mountains, beautiful cities, and dark monasteries, he finds something far more sinister - an age-old curse, and a secret war.
Navigating a fraught past, an uncertain but magical present, and unravelling their own conflicts, Annabelle and Josephine learn from each other that there is more to Morrigan than meets the eye.
Josephine has a lot on her mind when she returns to her family home in South Ronaldsay, Orkney. She cannot bear to turn her thoughts toward her lost lover. Grappling with that and the mysterious disappearance of her aunt, she navigates life at a home she has long been away from. Isolated, except for the company of her chipper sister-in-law, Josephine decides to use magic to put things right. The result is something she could not have foreseen and that will shape her destiny for better or worse. She will return in Revenge of the Accused and other tales, navigating the consequences of her actions and the paths of fate.
