How far would you go to stop being powerless?

Vikram Mishra is a nobody-a bullied college student drowning in failure, grief, and silence. But on the night he tries to end it all, he meets Betal, a mysterious Hindu spirit that only he can see. What begins as a dark friendship soon spirals into a journey of violence, political power, and moral collapse.

With Betal whispering secrets of domination, Vikram rises from shadows to become a feared underworld figure... and eventually, a leader of a nation. But power always comes at a price. Haunted by the ghosts of his past and hunted by enemies old and new, Vikram must face the ultimate question:

Is he the master of the darkness-or its final victim?

Blending mythology, crime, and political thriller into a gripping supernatural saga, Govind Soni weaves a story of ambition, betrayal, and the chilling cost of unchecked power.

Perfect for readers who enjoy mythical fiction, dark psychological thrillers, and stories where gods walk beside monsters.
