Abhik – her childhood friend and new lover, is supportive of her quest to unbolt dark secrets from her past about her mother‘s death, but the only man who can answer her questions is Jay Ghosh – for he still wears her mother‘s demon‘s teeth around his neck. Jay had been there with Shanti the evening she died. When Jay lands in Malaysia after thirty years – summoned by Colonel S, his mentor and father figure – Jay realises, as does Agni, that nothing is as it seems. Each must fight larger demons, for there are greater things at stake. Collab: Gyaana Books
