Kalki Divekar grows up in Kingston―a city forged by the British from the remnants of Bombay. As she navigates a world scarred by lost generations, brutal hunts for rebels, and relentless wars, Kalki witnesses a city divided against itself, blind to its true oppressors. When tragedy strikes her family, she and her friends embark on a perilous mission: infiltrating British ranks to dismantle the empire from within. Their actions ignite Kingston’s new independence movement, where every step could mean life or death. Narrated through ten pivotal moments reflecting the Dashavatara—the ten avatars of Vishnu—this speculative novel delves into themes of empowerment, friendship, and the profound essence of freedom.
