Publisher's Synopsis
Humanity as we know it has been destroyed. Decimated by a string of wars and plagues, Earth's population has been reduced to either factions of people struggling to survive on the surface or relegated to thriving underground metropolises. In one such city deep under the Indian subcontinent, Rangi has become disillusioned with her life of slavery and ignorance in regards to the outside world. After securing her freedom, Rangi sets out with a group of strangers in search of a place to call her own. However, in her quest to find belonging, she'll soon find out that the surface world holds more perils and uncertainty than slavery ever could. In humanity's absence, other creatures have sensed an advantage in taking over as the superior species on the planet. In addition, gods such as Krishna, Shiva, Yama and Ganesha are prevalent and using their powers to influence the future of the world. With unusual attention from the deities, Rangi is granted a devastating power. However, not only does she have to survive, but she also has to deal with maddening new powers, as well as the attempted puppetry from gods, all while struggling to find a home in a world she has never known. Using a long time admiration and passion for Indian mythology and religion, Spencer Johnson has crafted an epic adventure saga reminiscent of classic European mythological tales but with an exciting new perspective unique to the Indian culture. Rolling Kali is a dramatic tale about how important change can be in life and the fantastic efforts sometimes needed to bring it about. With a refreshing new entry into the fantasy genre, Johnson has crafted an excitingly original saga that will make readers from all walks of life feel at home and instantly engrossed.
