India has gone dark. The temples are screaming in gold.
When the internet dies and the seas begin to boil, fourteen-year-old Aarav believes the world has ended. He’s wrong.
It’s only just begun.
Replaced by a shadow-imposter and cast into Kaal Bhumi—a hellscape of living lava and fractured time—Aarav uncovers a terrifying truth: history is a lie. The Asuras erased from the Vedas were never destroyed. They were waiting. And now, they are awakening beneath the skin of the Earth.
Marked by the ancient vibration of Aum, Aarav becomes the first of the Awakened. Guided only by the legendary Shri Hanuman ji, he must learn to control a power so vast it frightens even the gods themselves.
But as the line between boy and weapon begins to blur, Aarav faces a choice more dangerous than any monster rising from the deep:
Save humanity… or stop being part of it.
The gods are waking.
The silence is coming.
And the quake has only just begun.
