Five thousand years ago, Krishna cursed Ashwatthama to walk the earth until the end of the age, his wound never healing. In 2031, a genomics lab in Navi Mumbai finds a blood sample that should not exist: human, perfectly healthy, and carrying cells that are older than agriculture. Dr. Ira Menon has seventy-two hours to find the donor before the company that funds her does. The problem is that he has been hiding from people like her since the Kurukshetra war. An original mythological sci-fi thriller.
