Review :
This is the second book of the trilogy, so if you haven't read the first book yet, you should. As it's a direct continuation of the first book.
But in this book the author takes us on the journey of Kaal, how he becomes what hes is now. From the very beginning, from the ancient time, 600 BCE , how it all started. First 30% of the book is the tales from the past , then we came back to the present day and what happened right after the first book. But after this point we follow the two timelines of what happened in the past, the journey of Kaal, as well as what is happening currently. But the main focus in the story is Kaal.
Just like the first book this is also a page turner and thrilling book with folklore, myths, science, history with some current situation sprinkles in it. And it did not make the story jumbled but somehow interesting, intriguing.
And I somehow like this book more than the first book and the book doesn't suffer from the second book syndrome at all. Yes at times it felt slow, feels like the scene going on, but it never loses the tension and thrill that you couldn't even skip it.
So there's nothing I have that much complaint with this book except some little things, which I don't want to mention and spoil. But would definitely going to recommend if you're looking for some good mythological sci-fi mix fantasy. It's an ongoing one and you can easily catch up before the next book comes up.

33rd Book of 2023
I remember reading around 3-4 books written by Pranay last year in 2022 and I was surprised with his scale of imagination while creating a universe in which he weaves his stories. The latest book I read by him was the 1st part of a new trilogy (“Kavaach Trilogy”) he had introduced reading which I was amazed by the world he had created. The series became promising with the 1st book itself and I am glad that within a year, Pranay has managed to draft the 2nd book and released the same recently. This 362-pages book is named “Kaal: The Protected Rakshasa” which is typically based on one of the two prominent characters of the book – Kaal.
Even though the book is part of a series and the last book was read by me a year back, the way Pranay has given start to this book makes the reader comfortable without getting confused with the multiple groups and characters. Just as we read the life of Krishna separately apart from his massive involvement in Mahabharata, author has given almost the same touch to the story of Kaal where we get to read about his whole life right from his birth to a phase where he finally gets involved in the Kavaach saga. I am surprised with respect to how Pranay made it possible to make it an easy-read without even giving a brief of what happened in the 1st book as a recap or something. This tells about the writing prowess he holds.
Pranay has managed to give a great shape to the development of Kaal’s character where he is a very innocent boy in childhood – then gets into a training module where he starts analyzing about the extra-ordinary events happening with him – later, as a lover boy who starts getting involved in a relationship fearlessly – as an intellectual youth - and finally into a warrior who is ready to take on anyone. The story around all these events progresses smoothly making us enjoy each of the phases and rooting for Kaal – even at the instances where we know he is not completely right.
His chemistry with his parents in his childhood is very nicely projected which shapes up his future regarding how and why he turns so evil over a period of time. His life in ashram is portrayed along with other themes of nepotism, favoritism and the struggle one has to go through when one tries to push himself up in the status ladder created by the society. I liked how Pranay was able to describe the whole tantric and other mantra-level hawans etc. very clearly that as a reader, we can imagine how the whole ceremonies are being carried out. A book that belongs to a genre where the ancient Indian history or mythology is touched upon needs description of such processes widely so that readers are aware of all that goes into developing a culture which is so vast and popular. Pranay just utilizes this specialty well and doesn’t leave a chance anywhere of not making us go through such events deeply.
Like the 1st book, even here the story keeps moving to and fro in two different eras- the ancient 600 BC and the modern world. Yet again, author has been able to make the transition happen very organically without making it sound complex and difficult. He has been successful in implementing this form of story-telling where there is link between two different time-periods and how to shuffle between both of them in order to narrate the happenings. It generally sounds as if both the stories are happening parallelly which makes it exciting and mysterious for the reader to know about both the worlds and its respective characters at every point of time.
In the 1st book, I had felt that Pranay has narrated the story as if it’s a pitch for a screenplay adaptation rather than a novel. Thankfully, this time Pranay has drafted the story well where it gives the literary feeling in every sentence. Similarly, there weren’t much philosophical aspect in the 1st part whereas this time, he has been able to provide such insights in between wherever there was a scope to describe any response with the element of life.
Personally, talking about few scenes – I liked the chemistry between Kaal and Nandini a lot. I liked the whole relationship arc of Kaal and King Nandak. I liked the last confrontational scene between him, King and the secretary. All those moments where the dark figures keep returning back to Kaal are nicely planned in the story. It gives a great push to the story – the twists and turns just after that makes the book reach another level. The insecurity of Adhiram and Radha throughout the story regarding losing their son hits the emotional nerves every time they have a conversation between themselves.
Not taking anything away from the other characters, Rudra is given enough scenes in this book as well in the present timeline. What happens after all the devastation (mentioned in 1st book) is discussed and his chemistry with his folks and realization of his superpowers keeps up the excitement in the story. I am excited to know how Rudra is going to rule over the next parts of this series. Similarly, Shaurya, his group and his world are also discussed regularly to build the base for the clash that’ll happen in the present timeline – somewhere in the next book.
Overall, the book is a perfect page-turner. Pranay is a brilliant story-teller who knows how to keep you hooked. He is capable of converting a complex storyline into a smooth-read with his writing abilities. I gave the 1st book 4.25*; as this one is a notch better than it; I will give 4.5* to Kaal – the 2nd book in the series. And now I wait for the conclusion to be released as soon as possible.
Thanks!

After finishing the first book in the series, 'The Protectors Of Kavaach ,' I was genuinely excited to dive into this one. Honestly, I'm seriously considering collecting the entire series now; it's just that amazing. "The Protected Rakshasa: Kaal" by Pranay Bhalerao is a gripping journey through two distinct timelines that expertly intertwine to create an engaging narrative.
The story delves into the intriguing life of the protagonist, born under mysterious circumstances and adopted into a potter's family. As he grows, his journey takes him to the prestigious Ashram of Sapt-Sindhu, where he becomes a scholar and warrior. His obsession with obtaining the KAVAACH of KARNA leads him down a path of obsession and transformation. This captivating origin story is skillfully woven into the present-day events, introducing us to Shaurya, the most powerful human on Earth, and his connection to Kaal's legacy.
The book's impeccable writing draws readers in from the beginning, with powerful storytelling that skillfully builds suspense and thrills. The character development is commendable, especially Kaal's transformation. The execution of scenes is vivid, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the world the author has crafted. The world-building is meticulous, with creative liberties taken to build a rich setting around Ujjain's Mahakaleshwar temple and the fictitious site of Dholavira.
Pranay Bhalerao's presentation is truly amazing, with words and metaphors that enhance the reading experience and leave a lasting impact.

Pranay Bhalerao did wonders with the second book in the KAVAACH trilogy. After the first book, THE PROTECTORS OF THE KAVAACH, every reader, including myself was left wondering about KAAL. KAAL might have been a rakshasa in name, but he was so loyally guarded by his kind and so devoted to his creators that it made questions arise. Was Kaal really as evil as portrayed to be?
The second instalment gave us an understanding of KAAL and his origins.
It began with a very detailed description in 650 BCE in Avantika Nagari, also known to modern-day as Ujjain. There we got to witness a holy ritual performed by an AGHORI SAGE that granted him immorality. The descriptions of the city are so beautifully constructed that they teleport you right there. Even when the process of Shav-Sadhna was explained, the eerie illustration gave even more life to the story.
The story proceeds as we witness the Gondwana Empire in 622 BCE in modern-day Madhya Pradesh. Zonta and Sutra’s friendship was one of a kind and so was the relationship between Sutra and Agni.
As the story goes on, the plot thickens. On every page, there are incidents you do not expect to happen. The title first makes sense when we learn about the re-birth of the Aghori sage in the form of Agni and Sutra’s son.
We move forward seamlessly switching between timelines of ancient history and the present day. The connections are depicted so well that every time a mystery unravelled, it had my jaw on the floor. Several characters are introduced who play some or the other part in KAAL’s story, taking the profundity of the story to another level.
Once again, the book ends on a cliffhanger leaving the readers salivating for yet another book. This book is sure to be once in a lifetime experience for the readers who inhale and exhale in mythological fiction.

Mystery, faith and religion come together in this beautiful piece of fantasy🤌
•• INSIGHT: Pranay Bhalerao's "The Protected Rakshasa KAAL" is a mix between fantasy and reality and a mind boggling addition to the KAAVACH trilogy. It not only is an eye opener towards redefining evil and good, it also manages to change perspectives of its readers towards what the contemporary society would term as ungodly. Toggling between history and modern society, the tale talks about an orphan taken in by a poor family of potters, and then narrates the journey of his wisdom and psychological growth. It also shows us the other side of rakshasas, as described by our scriptures, on what and why they became what they are known as. The effect of power and karma is well narrated and is quite elaborately described in the story.
••REVIEW: The author has done a great job in combining research with fantasy. It is well understood that Pranay is a person with deep faith guiding his thoughts, and his art of developing multi- faceted characters is quite exposed in the narrative. The story is in-depth, excellent in language and opens a well-built pathway and interest for its next edition.
••Favourite Line: “ When you have to choose one path out of one right sand one wrong, the choice is easy. But when life throws a situation at you where you need to decide the convenient path out of two rights and two wrongs will be Dharma and Adharma for you.”
••STRENGTH: There is a lot of history and in-depth understanding of storylines that is well communicated between the reader and the author. Not for once will the narrative feel boring or exaggerated to its readers
••WEAKNESS: Might not be a good pick for those looking for simple reads, needs quite a whole lot of perspective and interest in this genre
••TARGET READERS: Young adults
••GENRE: Mythological Fiction
•• RATING: 4.4/5

This an outstanding book for anyone keen in reading a mythological tale with a spin of urban fiction to it.
I have followed the series since it's first iconic book "The Protectors of Kavaach". Every books in series are well researched(one of the best things about them).
The wait is worthwhile. A wonderful blend of mythology, history and science, exactly what the gifted writer is most popular for. He is magnificently incredible at his composing abilities. Enjoyed every bit of it.
Here, I won't give spoilers to keep the excitement intact. Well, without a doubt the action packed literary takes you on an exhilarating excursion where the turn of events and unjust made a decent human into a devil. One man's Dharma is another man's Adharma. Read and encounter this exhilarating excursion of the origin of the most feared Rakshasa of Sapt Sindhu Kaal.
I'm a huge fan of Kavaach Series, it has been a pleasure to watch the characters develop and grow, and reach to the point they have in this book!
The best element is the storytelling skill which transports the readers into a world created by the writer. Perusing these sorts of fictitious work feels totally astounding! The pace was perfect and without getting too specialized the story and the idea was rejuvenated!
If asked, I would fail to describe if I read an action packed thriller ride or a sci-fi or a mythological fiction… as expected the book is a brilliant combination of all these. One exceptional thing to mention: this book inspires perusers to go back and read our mythological text and this prowess of Pranay's at storytelling sets him apart from all…
As a greedy reader and an ardent fan, I can't wait for his next book in the series!!!

The book appears to be a historical and contemporary fiction novel that weaves together two timelines.
"The Protected Rakshasa KAAL: Book 2 of KAVAACH Trilogy"
The story unfolds in two distinct time periods 617 BCE:
In ancient India, a potter's family adopts a foundling from the Yamuna River, unaware of his true origins. Raised in the prestigious Ashram of Sapt-Sindhu, he becomes a highly educated scholar and a disciple of Mahanta, a warrior and scholar. However, driven by an intense obsession, he abandons his teacher, friends, society, and even his faith in God to acquire the powerful KAVAACH of KARNA.
Present Day:
In modern times, the story takes a dramatic turn in Shivgarh, where a character named Shaurya undergoes a transformation, making him the most powerful human on Earth. RUDRA, another character, is tasked with stopping Shaurya, but it proves to be a challenging task as Shaurya's transformation is connected to Kaal and his extraordinary powers.
This book explores the origin story of KAAL, who later becomes known as "The Protected Rakshasa," while also unraveling a cunning mystery that connects the events of the past with those of the present day.
It seems like an intriguing blend of historical and contemporary elements with a focus on characters' journeys, obsessions, and the interplay of supernatural powers. The concept of Dharma and Adharma seems to play a significant role in the narrative, along with themes of power, transformation, and mythology.
This book seems to offer a unique blend of historical and mythological elements with a contemporary twist. Readers interested in Indian mythology and epic tales may find this intriguing.

I was waiting so eagerly for this book after reading the first book of the Series and finally it's here. And it lived up to my expectations of thrill I felt while reading the first book.
The book Starts with the City of Mahakaleshwar - Ujjain where Aghori is performing Sav Sadhna. The narration of that particular scene is enough to send chills.
And the story turns again in two timeline narrations- one many centuries earlier and the other in current time.
✨
While the past timeline narrates the Story of Aghori and a boy- Kaal, the current story timeline takes you to many cities of India starting from Shivgarh where Rudra meets Tanya and starts his Quest to complete the prophecy. While in Banaras Shaurya also sets his plan into motion for getting to the secret of immortality.
The book has narration of Cult practices, suspense, quest, a mystery to solve, Vedic Mantras, scriptures, taking you to the lost city of Dwarka, banaras, Ujjain, kurukshetra and many more. This is again a fight of Good to overcome the Evil powers and Save the World.
✨
Keeping the concept of Narayana and Nara at the centre of Story and Karna's protective Kavach mentioned in the Tales of Mahabharat, this is yet another Mythological fictional Story that is gonna give you that adrenaline rush if you also love reading this Genre.

‘The Protected Rakshasa KAAL: Book 2 of KAVAACH Trilogy’ by author Pranay Bhalerao dives deep into the origin story of Kaal, providing intricate and detailed insights that connect seamlessly with the current timeline of the series.
This is indeed a captivating journey, and the comprehensive exploration certainly fills in the gaps and provides a richer understanding of the character and motivations, digging into some of the questions that were raised previously.
Ambition, when unchecked and driven solely by personal gain, can blind the individuals to ethical boundaries, and has the potential to lead to one's downfall owing to risky decision making, and same can be seen as the story begins with introduction of how this need of an Aghori to become immortal seemingly was the kickstarter.

As an ardent reader of books, it feels like a quest when I read mythological fiction. This book is nothing short of such an epic journey.
A journey, that started with the Mahants passionately protecting Karna’s Kavaach(armour), now takes us further as we delve some more into the origins of Kaal!
As the author deftly intertwines ancient chronology with technology from the present times, the reader is bound to be hooked from the beginning.
The book takes us on an exciting voyage through history and mystery, where we see how the thirst for power can evoke negative feelings. As the adage goes “With great power comes great responsibility”, the book emphasises the same. The author pens down this sentiment with sensitivity. It all comes down to one’s self-actualization on the path of greater knowledge.
This action-packed and fast-paced tale, with a gripping storyline, is a must-read for lovers of myth and folklore like me!
I am extremely eager to read the concluding tale in this trilogy.
