In medieval Kashgar, some rivers carry you toward your destiny. Others simply drag you under.
Prince Atul, the Heir to Malla, should be dead. Saved by a potent elixir after his journey to restore Kashgar's throne took a lethal turn, he now breathes: but at a jagged price. A volatile new power has awakened within him, one that he cannot master and that has stripped him of the fighting skills he once relied upon. Now, on the storm-lashed shores of Kashgar, the mysterious voice that once guided him toward his destiny has fallen silent, replaced by a gnawing doubt.
Why protect a girl shrouded in secrecy while a kingdom stands on the brink of collapse?
Sugandha is the girl bound to a mystery she cannot solve. Fleeing an uncle whose pursuit is as relentless as it is unexplained, she carries a flickering magic that mirrors the wild currents of the river. She does not know what her uncle wants-only that her connection to the ancient waters has made her a target. She seeks the truth of her past, only to discover that knowledge brings no safety: it brings a target.
Embarking on a quest for the truth, the pensive prince and the resilient girl are forced into an uneasy alliance. They clash at every turn while steering a boat through a land where mythical creatures hunt them from the shadows. In the mist of the Sunkosh River, as a prophecy awakens and even the protection of family comes at a bitter price, Atul and Sugandha must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for the truth.
A curse has been set in motion, but its true cost is only beginning to unfold.
