“In the beginning there was the end” "What would you do, should the world as you know it break down abruptly? You're seeing changes already. Weather patterns gone awry − Intense heat waves when there should be winter, devastating floods in summer, unseasonal super storms levelling lives and livelihoods indiscriminately… What would you do when it is finally upon you? When Sitara sees the mysterious Garud for the first time at age five, she does not yet know the terrible secret he conveys to her telepath elder sister Padmini. When she learns the truth it is only so she can participate in a desperate race against time as the elements wage war. A race for survival that tests endurance, filial and societal bonds and spells sacrifice for Sitara, her siblings and her betrothed. Will they make it? This is a story of three sisters. Their unorthodox early years, the secret they struggled with and their desperate fight for survival, told in individual voices with timelines alternating between past and present. They are not entirely ordinary. They have unconventional help in their odyssey, help that is mystic and ancient, the way all unexplained energy is. Even so, their journey embodies the story of the universal human condition − man's eternal waging against forces beyond his control, his struggle to conquer his demons, to rise, using the inner force more powerful than any other, one available to not just the gifted, but to all − love.

3. This is a story of three
sisters.
Their unorthodox years,
the secret they struggled
with, and their desperate
fight for survival, told in
individual voices and
timelines that alternate
between past and present.

4. Sitara
The youngest sister at 17
years, is a telepath who can
bend wills. She can also
communicate with animals in
her mind. Her Familiar is the
demoniacally loyal pariah, Tir
SITARA

5. Leila
The middle sister at 22 years is an Empath who can alter the very
nature of reality. Her gift cannot be contained, she is being torn apart
by its intensity. Her Familiar is the surreally beautiful pony, Badal.

6. Padmini
The 25-year-old eldest sister is the one with who the story
begins. The Garud appears to her first in her magical card
deck left to her by her Aji, her mystical healer
grandmother, hinting at an impending
apocalypse. He then appears in
real time, as a
majestic Eagle
when she is 13,
also sighted at the
time by her littlest
sibling Sitara , then 5
years old, as he
conveys his terrible
secret.

‘Aum’

who is also Sitara’s soulmate.
He helps the three sisters fulfil
their combined destiny.

8. Vayu and Waman
The twins, slightly older than Padmini, who appear
almost magically when the sisters need them most.
And then seem not what they appear to be.

9. When Sitara sees the mysterious Garud for the first time at age
five, she does not yet know the terrible secret he conveys to
her telepath elder sister Padmini.
When she learns the truth it is only so she can participate in a
desperate race against time as the elements wage war.
A race for survival that tests endurance, filial and societal bonds
and spells sacrifice for Sitara, her siblings and her betrothed.
Will they make it?

10. This is the story of a journey. A
journey that tests spirit and
strength, whilst seeking that one
truth to hold onto, when the
world turns upside down. What
would you do if it happened to
you?
