Exiled. Despised. Unrepentant
Akran is a Yaksha, a semi divine celestial being. Banished from the Celestial Court, he spends his days in the city of Mumbai pretending to be human.
When a young girl gets kidnapped, Akran finds himself dragged reluctantly into an investigation that unearths a sinister conspiracy between celestials and demons. With a handful of close friends, Akran finds himself pitted against a villain from the Mahabharatha who harbours a personal dislike towards Akran.
As the clock races towards the end of the world as we know it today, will Akran be able to uncover the secrets of his own past? Or will it all be too late?
Shadows Rising is an urban fantasy novel and is the first in a series of six books based on Indian mythology.
