The Book
Secrets of Konark
Ranjit Bohidar, an Oxford doctoral candidate, can't let go of two unanswered questions: what happened to his father, and whether a sealed chamber beneath the Konark Sun Temple really holds a history that predates the temple itself, reaching back to the Mauryan Empire.
Chasing both answers pulls him into the temple's forbidden depths, where he finds evidence of an advanced ancient technology, a hidden fortune, and a different account of what really turned Emperor Ashoka away from war after Kalinga. What he uncovers also exposes a present-day conspiracy — one with enough at stake that Ranjit becomes the only person standing between the truth and the people determined to keep it buried.
