The man who burned Vaidehi's home now rules an empire. He has silenced the gods. And someone wants her to fight him.

Nineteen-year-old Vaidehi has learned to survive by moving quickly, noticing danger, and keeping her distance. On the salt coast of Tapovan, she and her uncle have built a life around what they lost.

Then Maya arrives with a request that exposes everything Vaidehi was never told about her father.

Emperor Agnimitra has stolen the sacred knowledge of creation, preservation, and destruction. To confront him, Vaidehi must learn the discipline her father once guarded: Samhara, the art of endings. Its lessons demand more than belief. They demand pain, endurance, and a willingness to face the ruins of her own past.

Across flooded crossings, abandoned temples, and cities choked with ash, Vaidehi begins to discover what that knowledge can do, and what others expect her to become.

But she has a condition of her own: no one gets to turn her into a weapon without her consent.

Samhara's Daughter is a fantasy novel of dangerous knowledge, grief, and the struggle to choose a life beyond the one others have planned.
