On one side, the incompetence of native kings; on the other, the encroaching shadow of East India Company rule. And caught in between, a vast expanse of central India ruled by a ruthless gang of looters and murderers.
One such gang is led by Bhukot Jamadar—until, one day, he is mysteriously overthrown by an unknown Brahmin who seizes control. But unlike other looters, this enigmatic Brahmin cares little for wealth and treasure. Instead, after every raid, he asks for only one thing—the corpse of the victim.
Who is this Brahmin? And what does he do with the dead bodies?
For generations, an accursed stone tablet has been worshipped in the lineage of Maharani Haldar. But why? What terrible event took place a thousand years ago in the sanctum of the Sompura Mahavihara? Who did the great monk Ratnakarshanti curse in the name of the fierce goddess Jata Devi?
Meanwhile, will Teniya succeed in trapping and selling three girls from Balurghat to human traffickers? What is the tale of Mekhla and Konkhla? And what fate awaits these helpless young women?

Who is Damri? And which goddess does this idol represent?
Why did the Buddhist Tantric master Sahasraksha create this statue?
Can Bhavesh Babu, his father’s old friend, save Atin from the grip of the unknown?
On the very day that Portuguese commando leader Martinez Taj saved a group of children from Afghan terrorists, he received the most devastating news—his only son, Tiago, was on his deathbed.

And with it, a terrifying curse that had now come for his beloved, motherless child.
What happened next?
How did a cursed temple in the village of Amona connect events separated by five centuries?
