The Story

Where Ancient Prophecy Meets Modern Crime

History professor Ravi Mohan Saini wakes to find himself the prime suspect in a gruesome murder — a colleague discovered dead with a cryptic Sanskrit seal pressed into his skin. Before Saini can clear his name, more murders follow, each body bearing the same ancient mark.

Hunted by a relentless detective and chased by a mysterious killer who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Kalki — the tenth avatar of Vishnu — Saini races across India to decode a 5,000-year-old secret. The trail leads him deep into the Mahabharata, the life and teachings of Lord Krishna, and the lost city of Dwarka.

Is the legend of Krishna merely mythology — or a coded record of real history? And can Saini unlock the truth before the killer completes his apocalyptic mission?
