Dawn The Warrior Princess of Kashmir by Rakesh K. Kaul

on Oct 18, 2022

It is AD 3000. Hiding from the world in a cave in Mount Kailash, Dawn encounters two strange beings on her sixteenth birthday. They urge the long-lost princess of Kashmir to fulfill the prophecy of fighting the Troika. This nefarious trinity-the merciless leader Arman, the AI war machine Ayman and their supreme, omniscient overlord Dushita-is a vicious manipulator of stories, minds, and histories. With an army of weaponized AIs and mind-controlled automatons based in Kashmir, they rule over a deadly world where men have lost their souls and women have been slain-all heading to Sarvanash, the Great Apocalypse. With a motley group of five outlaw boys, Dawn sets on a tumultuous journey across Time and Space to battle the most technologically lethal empire known to humanity. Her only hope is to seek out secrets hidden in the Niti folk tales of Kashmir and unlock the powers within her to become the ultimate warrior. As the only female left in the world, Dawn will decide the fate of the Universe. But can she unleash her body, mind, and spirit and ignite the fiery cosmic power of all the women who have ever lived? A sci-fi saga that reveals eternal truths as it traverses the terrains of the Kashmir Valley-the birthplace of the greatest stories ever.
