India, 1826.

Something is rotten in the state of Devangarh.

The small princely state in Rajasthan is the last bastion of resistance against the might of the British Empire. Amidst the turmoil surrounding the British East India Company’s occupation of India and the mysterious death of his father, the king of Devangrah, Rudra Pratap Chauhan is now next in line for the throne of Rajasthan.
But Rudra’s ascension is not at the best of times: The kingdom is in political turmoil through a coup to capture the throne, civil war and the possible annihilation of the present Rajput clan by an all-out assault led by the British East India Company's emissary, the sadistic Richard Walker. Added to this, the king’s death may not have been accidental but a planned political murder. The strange appearance and disappearance of a mysterious hooded stranger and a series of ritualistic murders in which the bodies have been drained of blood indicate foul play.

Finally, the fact that Rudra may be possessed by a creature so powerful, awoken centuries ago by Ravan himself to turn the tides of war against his rival, Ram. And that perhaps the creature is slowly but surely taking control over Rudra’s mind, body and soul itself. With time of the essence, will Rudra emerge triumphant as he battles Wind Asuras, zombie armies, serpent guardians and uncloak the true enemy of the state?

Sigh … sometimes being a prodigal king is not what it’s cracked up to be.
