To succeed, he must infiltrate their peaceful society, becoming the Kritikan scientist, Ajeya. But when Indrajeet finds unexpected love and a sense of belonging he’s never known, his loyalties are tested. Will he choose the path of vengeance for his Asura clan, or protect the new life he’s built?

Meanwhile, on Earth, Kanishka, a young Indian widow, is haunted by terrifying nightmares and a growing sense that she’s being watched. She’s more than just a grieving mother; she’s the chosen one, a descendant of an ancient lineage tasked with safeguarding a cosmic secret. When deadly mercenaries target her and her son, Kanishka is thrust into a hidden world of ancient aliens, galactic empires, and a war that spans the stars.
