Vedant Svanaya has built everything the world told him to want. A corner office above Manhattan; markets that move at his word, and a fortune most would call absurd. But something older than ambition burns beneath the surface of his lavish life. A recurring dream of ancient forests and reptilian eyes. A pull toward sacred mountains and hidden yogis he cannot explain. A spiritual restlessness that ten years of Wall Street success has never silenced.
A mysterious woman who appears on Christmas Eve and vanishes like a riddle. An invitation to Japan that costs him everything he built — and delivers him into a world he was never supposed to find.

Somewhere beneath the earth, an ancient evil has waited across millennia. Civilizations have risen and fallen at his breath. The most sacred bonds of trust have been severed at his whisper. And now he is close to finishing what he started thousands of years ago.

Vedant carries something he doesn't yet understand. Something the ancient world buried. Something the modern world forgot. Something that ancient evil has hunted across thousands of years of human history. The answer to what Vedant carries will change everything he believes.

Some destinies don't arrive. They return.

Rooted in the philosophy of Vedanta and the rich ancient texts of Bharata — Vedant Svanaya: Ashes of the Invincible introduces readers to a mythological universe older, vaster, and more philosophically profound than anything they have encountered before.

For readers of Neil Gaiman, Madeline Miller, Amish Tripathi and Rick Riordan — and for those who relish the cryptic intrigue of The Da Vinci Code and the globetrotting adventure of Indiana Jones — and for every reader who has ever felt that Greek and Norse mythology only scratched the surface.
