Grief taught her how to end a world. Love taught her it was never going to be enough.
The Widow of Samsara. The Sterile Matron. Matrophage Durakti. Once, she was only a girl from Delhi. Then the cosmos cracked open — and something cracked in her that would not fit back together.
Now she wakes in two places at once. One body in the Labs of the Large Magellanic Cloud. The other in a hospital in a city called Vanaras. Neither knows the other exists. Neither remembers everything. And in the shared dark that binds them, a single woman stands at the edge of a cliff above a literal nothing — measuring the step she has already decided to take.
She is interrupted by a teenage boy eating a mango under a tree that was not there a moment ago.
He has a peacock feather behind his ear, an ancient ocean fitted into a dark eye, and a sentence that rotates the floor of her being: Maybe the universe needed ending. Maybe you were only the means. Maybe the world that comes next will need you — both of you — to walk into it.
A fallen king who rules barefoot among his own people takes her in. An ancient Vanara of terrible stillness gives her a name she has not earned. A priestess in white and saffron hunts a boy across the stars — a boy carrying a forbidden book whose contents every civilisation has spent an age trying to burn. And beneath it all, the Religion of Flames is learning how to bite.
Two women. Two universes. One convergence the Scribe at the heart of the galaxy has been dreading for ten thousand years.
The Dharma that is coming is not the simple kind. There will be no right way. There will be no wrong way. There will only be her way — and the world will need her. Both of her.
Mythic Vedic science fiction on a multiverse canvas. For readers who crave:
