The Forgotten Ones of Ashford is a mystery story about memory, friendship, and the quiet fear of being erased.

In the peaceful town of Ashford, everything seems ordinary until people start to disappear. Not just missing but forgotten completely. No one remembers their names, their faces, or that they ever existed at all.

But Riya does. So do her two best friends, Aarav and Neha.

The more they try to understand what's happening, the deeper they fall into a web of buried secrets, vanishing clues, and a curse that's been waiting in silence for centuries. Somewhere in the shadows, something watches them, and it wants to make them forget too.

This is a story about holding on to what matters when the world tries to erase it. A story for anyone who's ever felt invisible and wanted to be seen.
