After two years of looking, Mandhi has found her long-lost brother Navran. This means that there's finally an male heir in her family who can take over her father's religious title, but more importantly, it means that Mandhi isn't responsible for bearing a new heir herself. And that means that she can elope with her bodyguard and lover. 

But things go wrong as soon as Mandhi marries. Navran turns out to be utterly disinterested in taking up his religious role, and his insouciance brings their father's attention back to Mandhi. Worse, rumors from the capital indicate that their sect has fallen back into imperial disfavor, which raises the specter of the pogroms and purges that their people suffered in decades past.  Mandhi's attempt to save her family gets intertwined with betrayal, kidnapping, seers, imperial politics, and magical fire. Before long their family problems are intertwined with the fate of the empire itself.

However, her life is turned upside down when she discovers an ancient, mysterious artifact hidden deep in the Himalayas: a golden amulet engraved with Sanskrit inscriptions that seem to depict a detailed map of time. While investigating the artifact with her team, Anaya accidentally activates its hidden power and is thrust back in time to 3rd-century BCE India, during the height of the Maurya Empire. She wakes up in the city of Pataliputra, the grand capital, amidst scholars, warriors, and mystics. Anaya, now stranded in a world of palaces, lush forests, and ancient temples, must navigate this unfamiliar land where history is still unfolding and science is a mysterious force. There, she meets Aryan Sen, a fierce yet philosophical warrior in the royal court, tasked with protecting an ancient secret tied to the cosmic balance. Though initially suspicious of Anaya, Aryan is drawn to her intelligence and spirit. As they grow closer, Anaya confesses her origins, and together they work to uncover the connection between the amulet and an ancient prophecy that speaks of a woman from the future who holds the key to preventing the collapse of time itself. As Anaya and Aryan embark on a journey, they uncover not only the secrets of the universe but also a deep love that transcends time. Yet, they must contend with enemies who seek to use the amulet's power for domination and a race against time itself to stop an impending temporal disaster that threatens both the past and the future.
