This book title Arrow of Fortune
books by Jacquelyn Benson

A well-behaved lady historian ought to avoid haunted Indian forests… not plunge into them seeking an invincible weapon of the gods.
Ellie Mallory didn’t exactly volunteer to prevent the most dangerous artifact of the Ramayana from falling into the wrong hands—but if one has been coerced into an adventure, the least one can do is bring along a few friends.
Constance Tyrrell has new daggers stuffed in her garters, a thirst to discover everything India has to offer… and absolutely no interest in Dr. Neil Fairfax, Ellie’s scholarly stepbrother. Meanwhile, Neil finds himself wrangling a magical sword along with his increasingly tangled feelings about a certain doe-eyed danger gnome.
Then there’s Adam Bates—handy with a machete, perpetually shirtless, and about to face some unsettling...
The book’s conclusion feels well-aligned with the journey that precedes it. Rather than offering an abrupt or exaggerated ending, it provides a resolution that reflects the themes and character development established earlier. This thoughtful closure enhances overall satisfaction.
Many readers find the book appealing because it respects their intelligence. Rather than explaining every detail explicitly, the author allows meaning to emerge organically. This approach creates a more interactive and rewarding reading experience.
