She saved the universe once. Then she became its destroyer.
Imagine your greatest act of heroism creating your worst nightmare. That is the story of Surakti.
In Matrophage Durakti: Benevolent Hubris, two timelines collide across the stars. In one, Surakti is twenty-one years old on the alien world of Swarga-a daughter, a sister, a lover grounded in the chaos of Indian family life, simple joys, and the warmth she fought an entire galaxy to protect. In the other, a thousand years later, the same woman has become Durakti, the Matrophage-the Sterile Matron-a cosmic destroyer commanding galactic legions, leaving civilizations burning, her hands stained with the blood of those she once loved most.

How does the girl who saved the universe become the thing that unmakes it?
As Surakti navigates the collision of two selves and two impossible futures, the man who loves her hunts her across the stars-because the only person who can stop a god is the one she still loves back. Narrated by Sagittarius A*, a sarcastic supermassive black hole with fourth-wall-breaking contempt for the author himself, this multiverse space opera weaves Indian mythology with hard science fiction-blending galactic empires, intimate family bonds, apocalyptic destruction, and dark comedy into one devastating epic. It explores the weight of grief, the paradox of motherhood, and the cost of saving worlds that refuse to stay saved.
For fans of Dune's political intrigue, The Expanse's scope, and Hindu mythology reborn as interstellar war-this is dark fantasy space opera that will break your heart and make you laugh while it does it.
Book 2 in the Matrophage Durakti Trilogy. Part of the Echoes of Bhu Universe-where the myths of Indian history are redacted records of an ancient interstellar war hidden behind the dust clouds of the Milky Way.
From the Salis Mania Choice Award-winning author of the Agni Origins and Surya Origins series.
What happens when the only key to salvation belongs to a person who no longer exists?
