In Celahir, Findecano - the elf the children freed from the fairy cross - leads them on a quest to recover gemstones stolen from the Elven Bow by the Dark Elves.

Kaliyuga: 2019 An ancient, secret war, older than humankind, is about to spill out in broad daylight... The Devas in the heavenly abode of Swargam have been gone for over 5000 years; the Primordial Light of the Oorja weakens. The darkness of Andhakar grows, the taint of its corruption spreads, and its demonic creatures—the Asuras—prepare themselves for a global takeover. A retired history professor is gruesomely murdered in Indraprastha and a week later, angels with fire wings are sighted in modern-day India, along with strange reports of strange, cannibalistic children that feel no pain and inhuman corpses that can melt.

Light years away, Dhwani of Swargam, a 600-year-old Angiri Celestial, finds herself embroiled in a web of deceit and intrigue, as she discovers evidence of a traitor among the Angiris, working with the Asuras. Their fates are bound to an artifact of great power that will draw to it both the forces of light and darkness.
