About this listen

After the horrors of the Kalinga war, the devastated Emperor Ashoka embraced Buddhism. Transformed by his newfound beliefs, he creat­ed 'The Nine Unknown' - a secret society that would alter the course of history forever. The mission of the secret society was to safeguard the ancient knowledge for the benefit of humanity, pre- served within manuscripts that were constantly updated. Over two and a half millennia later, a malevolent group called 'The Sword of Power' surfaces with an ambition to rule the world. Their target -stealing the elusive manuscripts guarded by 'The Nine Un- known', even if it means killing the members off. Caught in a battle between the two secret societies is a PhD student named Ananya, who faces an imminent danger for protecting the ancient knowledge that even Ashoka feared ending up in the wrong hands. As a perilous chase for survival ensues, will Ananya and 'The Nine Unknown' come out unscathed? Can Ashoka's secret stay hidden in the pages of history forever?©2024 Chinmay Patgaonkar (P)2025 HubHawks Historical Fiction
