Nalini’s worst nightmare comes true when she is forced to venture out into the dangerous world outside on her wedding day to save herself and her family from a fate worse than death. On the run from her fiancé Damo and his men, burdened with a responsibility to save her baby sister, Nalini faces perils and dangers in every corner. On her journey she meets Tilak, a young, handsome lawyer who seems like a heaven sent. But a forbidden love cannot blossom when fate is not on your side.

Set in 1918 during Colonial India, The Lonely Castaway tells the story of a young woman’s sacrifice of her entire existence, which no one would ever willingly choose for themselves. The communal chaos and mayhem is compelling a backdrop for the powerful story of perseverance, faith, forbidden love, hope, and sheer devotion to family. This historical romance is a drama filled with rage, passion, and anticipation as seen through the eyes of an innocent young girl during the time, when patriarchy and political unrest in the country was at its peak.
