Crown Prince Duryodhan elevates the mysterious Karna to King of Anga, but as he enters royal politics, a queen fears a long-buried secret.

Long before becoming King of Anga, Karna was a foundling raised by commoners. Now at court, he faces prejudice, intrigue, and hidden enemies.

Karna returns to the village that raised him, where his father's wisdom proves more perilous than war. An unexpected encounter makes Karna question his origins.

Given a week to conquer a kingdom, Karna discovers the true enemy isn't a king but an ancient, smiling darkness stalking the battlefield.
