Sharad N. Gangwar, In the world of fiction, where imagination meets reality, there is always space for a fresh voice that brings suspense, thrill, and mystery alive on the page. Sharad N. Gangwar, a young author from Dehradun, Uttarakhand, is one such name to watch. His debut novel, Shaurya Vardhan and The Riddles, explores the thin line between the seen and the unseen, the rational and the supernatural. It is a thrilling narrative that combines ancient secrets, mysterious forces, and a young man’s struggle for survival and truth.
Sharad Gangwar, 28, holds a degree in B. Pharma and currently works in the private sector. Like many first-time writers, his journey into storytelling began from a space of curiosity and creativity. Living with his wife and parents in Dehradun, he found the perfect backdrop for exploring strange phenomena, silent presences, and the kind of thrill that arises from unanswered questions.
In Shaurya Vardhan and The Riddles, Sharad crafts the story of a 21-year-old who moves into a new house—only to be thrust into a life-or-death situation when he becomes the target of invisible attacks. The novel quickly spirals into a tale of supernatural mystery as the protagonist uncovers that the house stands on an ancient site, and that only by solving a series of strange riddles can he protect himself and those he loves.
The narrative is as much a psychological journey as it is a supernatural adventure. As Shaurya faces each challenge, readers are pulled into a deeper understanding of fear, resilience, logic, and the unknown. Sharad’s ability to build suspense while blending it with emotional realism sets his storytelling apart. Each riddle is not only a literal puzzle but also a metaphor for life’s unexpected and often inexplicable difficulties.
What makes Sharad N. Gangwar’s writing especially promising is his keen sense of pacing and ability to maintain suspense without compromising the emotional arc of his characters. His professional background in pharmaceuticals might seem unrelated to literature, but it adds a unique lens of realism and structured thinking to his plots—where science meets the supernatural, and logic is tested by forces beyond comprehension.
This debut is not just a standalone story—it hints at the possibility of sequels or interconnected tales in the same universe. Readers have already begun asking: Will Shaurya return? Will more riddles be revealed? Sharad, though modest about the future, doesn’t deny the potential for expanding this fictional world.
As he continues working in his professional life, Sharad also promises to stay connected with his passion for writing. His journey reflects the spirit of many modern Indian authors who balance careers and creativity while contributing meaningfully to contemporary literature.
With Shaurya Vardhan and The Riddles, Sharad N. Gangwar has marked his entry with confidence and conviction. And for readers who love gripping tales wrapped in mystery and shadow, his work is just the beginning of a thrilling literary adventure.
