Nishant, a 17 year-old boy from the small village of Kadha, wants more than a life of sweeping the floors of a blacksmith shop. With the King and his army sitting in isolation in the palace, stronger villages are growing close to a civil war. One which threatens to swallow Kadha and the other villages in its wake. When his powers awake as he stands up to soldiers, Nishant must be hidden away by Astradhari rebels.
Naktam, a veteran Astradhari and leader of the rebels, is the oldest survivor of Pralaya, a purge carried out by the King. After a decade of hiding, he has trained a new generation of Astradharis to avenge his late friends and restore the strength that the kingdom once had.
Nishant is swept up in the rebel cause, becoming the newest recruit for Naktam’s resistance. He trains with his newfound friends and faces their Astras, witnessing powers wilder than the fairy tales his father used to read to him. The King himself is a mighty Astradhari, with an army of loyalists spared from Pralaya, but Naktam believes that his group has a secret weapon. The only question is if they will be ready to stop the kingdom from tearing itself apart yet again.
All the while, the fog to the south of the kingdom border continues to grow and stir, shrouding an ancient threat.
