But one ordinary summer afternoon, a lost ball rolls him and his best friend Rohan straight into a hidden trapdoor beneath an ancient banyan tree. What they find underground changes everything: a glowing blue stone called the Eye of Varuna-an artifact that commands rain, reveals truths, and awakens a long-dormant danger.A ghostly British colonel warns them: the Shadow Thief, a shape-shifting entity of greed and betrayal, will stop at nothing to claim the Eye and drown the city in endless floods. Chosen by blood and accident, Arjun, Rohan, and sharp-witted classmate Priya become reluctant guardians. They must charge the Eye at four sacred nodes hidden across Bengaluru-from flooded quarries to midnight lakes, vine-choked gardens, and ruined hilltop forts-while the Thief wears their parents' faces, summons mythical monsters, and twists their deepest fears into illusions.Each battle costs them: lies to their families, bruises, sleepless nights, and pieces of themselves they can never get back. With only iron rods, salt, Parle-G, and stubborn friendship, three teenagers stand between a modern city and an ancient curse.In Bengaluru, even the rain has secrets. And some secrets fight back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inkscribe Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47883074797719,"sku":"9781971036724","price":1257.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781971036724.webp?v=1781099262","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-eye-of-varuna-shadows-floods-and-two-idiots-on-cycle-9781971036724","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
