For seventeen years, Karthik believed he was ordinary.
Raised by his mother, Karthik had never questioned the quiet life they shared. His days followed a comforting rhythm-school, homework, evenings at home, and laughter with his best friend, Ganesh. It wasn't extraordinary, but it was enough. Safe. Familiar.
Then came the first day of his senior year.
The dreams began that night.
The visions came without warning. In his sleep, and while he was awake, growing stronger with each passing day. He saw unfamiliar faces, places he had never been, and moments that felt strangely real. Voices whispered his name from somewhere beyond his understanding, leaving him with the unsettling feeling that the visions were trying to tell him something.
As the visions grew more vivid, Karthik began to change. Strange energy stirred deep within him, awakening powers he couldn't understand or control. The truth his mother spent seventeen years protecting is finally breaking free, revealing an ancient legacy, forgotten magic, and a war that has been waiting for him since the day he was born.
As a force of unimaginable darkness rises once more, Karthik is faced with an impossible choice: cling to the ordinary life he has always known, or embrace a destiny that could cost him everything-and everyone he loves.
Fortunately, he won't face the journey alone.
His most unlikely allies arrive in the form of an enchanted book filled with forgotten legends and a brilliantly clever peacock whose sharp wit is matched only by the secrets he carries.
An ancient power is awakening.
And the fate of worlds may rest in the hands of one boy who never believed he was anything special.
