The novel is touted as India’s first three-dimensional graphic novel with a realistic visual interpretation of about 150 scenes. Former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni as a mythological superhero on the cover of the novel.
Set in a 'very young Earth' and in a time long forgotten, the book chronicles the adventures of the titular protagonist, a seasoned warrior, who sets out on a long journey where he encounters strange creatures and discovers magnificent lands – a true treat for the soul and the senses.
