About this listen

Bereft. Haunted. Hunted by Destiny.

In the year 2294, Dharma Raghav, Prime Minister of the New India Federation of Planets is a broken man carrying the ghosts of a war he cannot forget. Thirty years ago, on a planet called Lanka, he battled demon hordes and lost the only woman he ever loved. Now, a cryptic message from that cloaked planet rips open old wounds—and promises answers he cannot ignore.

Dharma abandons his throne of power and, with his brother Loki, boards the galaxy’s first sentient starship: Maya 1. But Maya is not just a vessel—she is alive. She dreams. She hungers. And she has questions only Dharma’s darkest memories can answer. As man, machine, and myth collide, Dharma is thrust back into the flames of Lanka, where destiny, vengeance, and redemption await.

Blending science fiction, fantasy, and Indian mythology, The Lanka Chronicles is a sweeping reimagining of the Ramayana in the 23rd century—perfect for fans of Frank Herbert’s Dune and James S.A. Corey’s The Expanse.
