One Destroyer's Dharma

Complete at 99,000 words, ONE DESTROYER’S DHARMA remixes the gods and dynasties of the Mahabharata (ancient India’s Iliad) into propulsive science fiction. It blends the furious voice of Some Desperate Glory and the unforgiving, lived-in void of The Expanse.

Ishara is just as shocked as the six-armed, cybernetic demon on her bedroom floor—whose neural pathways she just fried with a desperate thought.

For twenty years, she shoveled manure on a backwater Earth ranch, honoring her father’s final command: Hide. She played the nobody, while the “Great Man” got himself killed in some distant oligarchs’ feud.

So much for hiding.

She flees Earth to hunt his secrets across the solar system. But when the demons corner her again, she discovers she can rip the truth from their minds.

Her father lied. Yes, he was a ruling dynast; but he was a feared weaponeer. And his masterpiece? Her. Engineered to hijack the neural implant in every brain. Now his rivals are closing in, desperate to collar her.

Ishara’s done being owned. He wanted a weapon? She’ll turn it on every rotten oligarch. But the more minds she severs, the more her humanity withers—and the more she realizes her father never pulled the strings.

ONE DESTROYER’S DHARMA stands alone with trilogy potential. A sharp-tongued warrior grapples with the cost of liberation, and a thousand-eyed god weaponizes human guilt.
