Massacre at Midnight by Chaudhary Kaushal Kishore Thakur is a historical thriller set in medieval Mithila during the Mughal era, blending revenge, political intrigue, folklore, magic realism, and spiritual elements. The story begins when the ambitious Nawaab of Waariaul becomes involved in a conflict with the honorable estate-owner of Singhwaar over two prized hunting dogs, LaaDlii and Pyaare. Using his influence, the Nawaab falsely portrays the Singhwaar family as rebellious and brings the Mughal army against them, resulting in a devastating massacre. The surviving widow gives birth to a male heir but, overwhelmed by her circumstances, abandons the infant in the wilderness. The child is miraculously rescued and protected by the goddess Vana-Durgaa, who becomes a powerful presence in his life. As he grows, destiny leads him toward the Mughal court in Delhi, where he ultimately confronts the man responsible for destroying his family. Drawing heavily on Mithila folklore and traditional beliefs, the novel combines historical intrigue with divine intervention, spirits, destiny, revenge, and poetic justice.
