The world is one secret away from destruction. A man unearths a sinister riddle at Lothal and dies mysteriously. A military mercenary prowls ominously. A shadowy scholar hunts for what should never be found. And buried deep in the past lies a secret powerful enough to rewrite history…and annihilate the future. For Dr Jaiyanti ‘Jay’ Menon—brilliant archaeologist, fearless warrior, and unflappable badass—it begins with a battered diary covered in strange symbols. But as spies decode whispers on the Dark Web and bodies start to fall, Jay realizes she’s not just chasing a mystery; she’s standing in the crosshairs of an ancient weapon poised to unleash global devastation. Only her intellect, her lethal urumi skills, and her nerve stand between humanity and the point of no return. Brace yourself for this heart-pounding journey where history, mystery, and mayhem collide.
