An unnatural, soul-chilling winter descends upon the mountain kingdom of Himavat Kshetra. The Hima Daityas, nightmarish beings of ice and despair whispered of only in fragmented legends, have awakened, their corrupted legions and insidious psychic attacks threatening to engulf all of Bharatvarsha in frozen darkness. On the throne of Ajaydurg sits young Maharaja Ajay Vajradhara, thrust into leadership after his noble father was betrayed and murdered by the ruthless Ratnakara faction, whose web of political intrigue now controls the decaying Kamalakar empire from the capital, Ratnapur. Alone, besieged, with dwindling resources and facing an enemy that feeds on hopelessness, Ajay must embody the unwavering strength of his ancestors ? the Vajra, the thunderbolt ? to protect his people.
But hope resides in the most unexpected place. Far away, hidden amongst the cloud-piercing peaks of the Gandharva mountains, lies Megh Shikhar, the last sanctuary of the forgotten Marutya lineage. Here, Princess Varsha, the final heir, guided by the wise Guru Madhav and the ancient consciousness of the Marut-Hriday crystal, rediscovers her heritage ? a profound connection to the elements, the Bhutas (nature spirits), and the lost art of spiritual balance. She learns the horrifying truth: the Hima Daityas are a consequence of her own ancestors' arrogance, a wound upon the world she feels destined to heal. As she struggles to master her immense but volatile powers, she knows she must soon descend to face the darkness and perhaps ally with the besieged king in the North.
