Publisher's Synopsis
Circa 1969, Uttar Pradesh, India
When Vishnu Vyas Thakur, who belongs to a politician's family from the Shambhala village in UP, insists on marrying Princess Parvati Devi Singh Sahib of Arjungarh, they are both aware that their child will be Kalki - the tenth avatar of Vishnu. What they are not prepared for is the viciousness with which their family will be ripped apart by the Daughters of Mara, as the evil creatures start the descent of humankind towards a kind of evil that can cause the end of the world.
It's not just the supernatural Kalki has to contend with. Both sides of his family want to use Kalki's fame as an Avatar for their own political and personal ends.
But even before he is born, Kalki has protectors - the most powerful of them being Parvati's older daughter, Chandika. And then his twin sister - Kali. She's so powerful that, even as a baby, she becomes a target for humans and immortals alike who are scared of what she's capable of?
As Kalki gets caught in human and superhuman power struggles, Kali must survive. And to do so, like her mother and sister before her, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.
