In the aftermath of the centuries-long conflict between the two orders, the once-united empire of Aryavarta lies splintered, a shadow of its former glorious self. Now, the last Secret Keeper of the Firewrights is dead, killed by a violent hand, and the battle for supreme power in the empire is about to begin. But who holds the key to the fantastic and startling knowledge of the Firewrights, which in the wrong hands will bring doom upon the empire? And does Govinda Shauri, cowherd-turned-prince and now Commander of the armies of Dwaraka, have it in him to confront the dark secrets of his past and discover the true meaning of being Arya, of being noble?
