The Arcology was a promise: a digital heaven for trillions. Now, it is only a memory.

Praveenthi ‘Prab’ Saal chose the grit of reality over the Arcology’s perfect dream. But when the utopia disappears without a trace, she is the only one who can be trusted to find it. Her guide is a living, sentient ship – an ark carrying the soul of her people. But the vessel is breaking apart, its mind fractured by the weight of a billion lifetimes.

With her pilot, Kercher, Prab plunges into the void in search of answers, only to find a terrifying truth. From the darkness between stars, an ancient hunger stirs, and it has set its sights on the souls of the lost.

Weaving the cosmic scale of space opera with the timeless power of Indian mythology, this is a journey to the heart of creation itself, where saving your people might mean confronting a god.
