Kalki: The 10th Avatar Rises

The year is 2061 - 25 years post the world nuclear holocaust of 2025 which destroyed the earth, barring a few key territories. Bhramabhoomi is all that remains of India along with Vishnulok and Bansmaati and its territories. It is under the dictatorship of Bhagwan Om - a religious zealot who has convinced the populace that salvation lies at his feet. An era akin to the dark ages is what thrives in his regime, because that is the only way to get back to Satya Yuga, or the golden age from the Kali Yuga that exists. A mind-washed populace buys into his religious dogma, especially since he proclaims his grandson to be the 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu - Kalki - the lord who will lead the righteous to this promised land. Sandhya is an orphaned maid in the labyrinthine palace of Vishnulok, ruled by Kalki’s father - Devaraja. She is surname-less, patron less, and worst of all, a woman. But what Sandhya has is fire, and it is in this palace that she finds the kindling she was looking for. Paras, a man skilled in martial arts, trains her to be a champion warrior. But can one person be the harbinger of change in a land so lost? Can Sandhya fight the patriarchy, the injustice of a failed system and the brutality of a seasoned dictator? Does she value that more than her life? Is it even possible that the final reincarnation of Lord Vishnu could be a woman when it’s the worst time to be one? She can if she is KALKI. A dystopian future full of darkness and mistrust is what Sandhya is up against and it is her journey from the gloomy orphanage of Vishnulok to the capital of Bhramabhoomi, which defines Kalki Yug - the 10th avatar rises. This story contains adult-themed content that is intended for individuals 18 years of age and above.
