In a post apocalyptic world, small settlements have formed on the outskirts of what used to be north Delhi. Life has regressed to pre-civilization levels. Radiation has ruined the water, made monsters out of rodents and made crops almost impossible to cultivate. In this world, twelve-year-old Natasha, a girl from the East, traumatized by the rape of her sister and utterly silent, stumbles upon a library and its only occupant: Ved. Deciphering the library, their new world, is the only hope they have of saving their families, perhaps their world.
