"...burned like a small withered tree,..." she said"...Earth is not the world..." she spoke"...I pray to God that no one shall be as deathless like me. Do me a favour, you too plead Him that I should also be given death..." he said"...death is more just that life. Life never gives equality, death does..." he said.Kanha, a wealthy heir, has to run for his life and probably for his father's. His world gets tangled with a group of people for whom life is nothing, but a thin line of thread called survival which may break down any day, any moment. With close encounters of the blank face of death and constant haunting of fears of dark, height, guilt and worst of all revelation of sins, the two stories lose their boundaries into each other such that every single character in them must see the end together. Read the book where joy never lasts.
