The Legion of Inheritance by Sumit Sehgal

In every family lies a story. Every secret deserves to be unveiled. When an email arrives with the promise of the truth behind a tragedy that tore apart a family, and seven cousins receive the invitation, the silence that has been carefully maintained around the incident begins to crumble. In this case, an eerie email is sent out from Geet Gauri, who is a descendant of this family, calling on all the relatives of her parents to come back to the hills of Mussoorie. Once a haven of joyous laughter, where children promised one another eternal happiness in life, one summer changed everything. Now, the cousins have come back, after decades of not speaking to each other, to confront their history. The hills of Mussoorie whisper tales of love and deceit, secrets and betrayals, and even murder. In Geet Gauri's home, the family will learn about their tragic legacy, one that threatens their future just as much as it did before the summer that changed everything.

A soulful and profound book on the themes of forgiveness, family, and the haunting memories we carry within us, it poses a single yet profound question: Is it ever possible to escape from the memories your heart cannot forget?
