In the year 2025, 17-year-old Shreya-brilliant, strong-willed, and born with a mysterious pull toward the ancient-finds herself abruptly transported through time into the heart of the Mahabharat era. Drawn by forces beyond human comprehension, she awakens in the presence of none other than Krishna himself. 

Calm yet cosmic, he tells her the truth: she is not here by accident, but by destiny.

Now in the golden kingdom of Hastinapur, just as the Pandavas and Kauravas return from gurukul as young men, Shreya must walk a path between fate and free will. 

Gifted with knowledge of the future but burdened by the rules of dharma, she becomes a silent observer and secret catalyst in a world where every emotion could change the course of war.

Caught between divine politics, secret alliances, and a love that was written in stars before she was born-Shreya must uncover who she truly is.
Is she a girl from the future?
Or a soul from the past, finally coming home?

As kingdoms rise and dharma trembles, only one truth remains:
Time may move forward, but destiny always circles back.

Where the earth, long a witness to the desecration of a woman's honour, bleeds anew, seeking to redefine mankind. But time is a fickle keeper of secrets, and what was buried shall rise again. The past is not merely a memory-it is a debt yet unpaid, a promise yet unfulfilled. Bound by fate and entangled in the savagery of mankind, they stand at the precipice of a world where Dharma wanes, and the truth is veiled in shadow. And so, as the voyage of time anchors them in a place unknown yet divine, their journey begins-a quest not only for remembrance but for reckoning.

Words-once spoken-can only be forgiven. Their irreversible weight has always made the oldest caution the young, lest they carry regret as their ancestors did. Alas! No one heeds this lesson until it is too late. And amidst the marbled halls of Indraprastha, where love, duty, and ambition entwine, a new precedent quietly unfolds: Where promises are fulfilled at the cost of pain: "I cannot promise a world without bloodshed, Abhijishya. But I can promise you this-wherever I go, I will first seek peace. I will extend a hand before I draw my sword. And if war must happen, I will fight so that it ends quickly and with as little loss as possible." Where vigilance and mercy intertwine: "Order without respect descends into tyranny, and tyranny breeds the very rebellions we are bound to prevent." Where will is more stubborn than destiny: "I refuse it. I refuse to stand by while they tear her apart. And for that, if I have to lie, deceive, betray any other, I will. I require no divine protection." Where power fans greed, and greed kindles fury: "Let me see who dares come for you." Where a woman grasps the weight of royalty, and finds her might radiates most fiercely in the most vulnerable moments. Dhruvi Maa - Rajneeti Matrika - Māyin Turn the pages of Vac and witness a woman's ascent and undoing, her battles fought behind doors, as she challenges destiny itself and reclaims what it means to be a warrior within the halls of the palace. --- Book II of Smriti Samprajanya Series.
