In the heart of modern-day Delhi, 2026, a terrifying phenomenon begins to unfold young university students are mysteriously aging into old men overnight. The city is in a state of panic, and at the center of this chaos is Kiyan, a Chhayodhbhav (a nightborn entity who drains age and life force, the offspring of a Chhayagrasini). Cursed with an eternal hunger, Kiyan has roamed the earth for centuries, forced to steal the lifespan of others just to survive (umr choosna). Haunted by his own existence, he is a predator who desperately wishes to be human.
Enter Aarav Sharma, an unassuming history student at Delhi University. Aarav's life takes a drastic turn when he unknowingly awakens the Devanshik (a divinely blessed one who wields divine power) abilities of his ancestor, Raja Manikya the very king whose lineage was sworn to eradicate the Chhayagrasini bloodline.
When fate forces these two sworn enemies together, an ancient war is reignited. Aarav is caught between his duty to protect the city from the "monster" and his growing realization that Kiyan's golden eyes hide a soul-shattering pain. The mark of the Aadisrashta Chakra on Aarav's wrist begins to glow, signaling that the Devanshik and the Chhayodhbhav are "two branches of the same ancient root"and one cannot be whole without the other.
With a secret organization named Aagya Sangathan (the Aagya organization) hunting them for their biological secrets, and the vengeful spirit of the Tamomayi (dark practitioner) Virbhadra seeking to reclaim Kiyan's power, the line between protector and destroyer blurs.
Will Aarav strike down the enemy he was born to kill, or will he become the protector of the one person the world fears the most?
“I am the end of your hunger, and you are the beginning of my curse.”
