Divya Babu
Writer. Dreamer | Teacher | Author of The Hinge of Light | Living between myths, motherhood & midnight ideas.
Hey, I’m Divya Babu — author of The Hinge of Light.
I’m a daughter, sister, wife, and a proud mom of two little boys who fill my world with wonder. I began as an engineering graduate, but my heart led me to a different calling — teaching young children. Every day in the classroom feels like a dance of curiosity, laughter, and discovery. I help shape their beautiful world and curious minds — and they, in turn, teach me to see life with fresh eyes, wonder, and endless imagination.
I started writing this story in September 2024, just after my baby turned six months old. My days were full of giggles, sleepless nights, and one question that wouldn’t stop whispering:
What if time travel was real?
And if it was… where would I go first?
For me, it would always be back to my school days — evenings when my dad told tales of ancient heroes, lost cities, and mysteries buried under our feet. My mom would tell stories and sing songs about mythological heroes. Those stories planted the seeds that later grew into The Hinge of Light.
I’m Indian, based in the UAE, and when I’m not surrounded by tiny humans or writing, you’ll probably find me sketching, sipping tea, or revisiting old myths. Imagination, I believe, is a force without boundaries — connecting childhood wonder to the stories we carry into adulthood.
If you’ve ever looked at the stars and wondered “what if?”, we’re already on the same wavelength.
Welcome to my world — where myths breathe, time bends, and curiosity never retires.
And yes, Part 2 is on the way.

About the Book

The Hinge of Light
A myth unearthed. A future changed.
Imagine unearthing an artifact so powerful, it tears through time and plunges a team of archaeologists into myth-shrouded ancient Greece.
When Dr. Mira Kaelyn Ford unearths an ancient hourglass beneath Delphi, she never expects it to tear through time and hurl her team into myth-shrouded Greece—a place where prophecy breathes, monsters guard sacred temples, and the gods are far from legend.
Trapped in a world where myth and reality intertwine, Mira and her team must survive deadly festivals, evade monstrous guardians, and unravel the secrets of sacred rites. But survival is only half the battle. Every step they take fractures the present they left behind—triggering violent earthquakes, impossible fossil discoveries, and history splintering with every breath.
Time is slipping away, and their window home is closing. To survive, Mira must unlock the mysteries of the Helios Prism—an artifact of legend that may be their only hope of returning to the present, if it’s true power can be understood. The Hinge of Light is an action-packed adventure where ancient mysteries and the dangers of time travel create a ticking clock of temporal paradoxes.

Echoes of Home
A space where myths travel across time and borders.
Every place has its own magic — stories passed down in whispers, songs, and fireside memories.
When I was a child, I loved hearing how gods, heroes, or ordinary people became legends. Those stories shaped my imagination — and, in many ways, The Hinge of Light grew out of them.
So, I wanted to build this space — for you.
A living archive where we can share the myths, legends, and folklore of our homelands.
Whether it’s the goddess who guards your village temple, the ghost who lives by the old bridge, or the hero whose name fades with the tide — I’d love to hear it.
Because myths aren’t just from the past — they’re alive in the people who remember them.
Welcome to Echoes of Home, where every shared story becomes a new thread in our world’s tapestry.
