About this audiobook
Some artifacts carry history. Others carry secrets. A few carry both — and the weight of the dead who tried to protect them.
When a sixteenth-century bronze ritual mirror surfaces at a London auction house, antiquities lawyer Kavitha Rangan does what she always does: she flags it for repatriation. But this time, the catalog photograph stops her cold. Faint Tamil lettering along the mirror’s inner rim spells out a name she recognizes — her own.
What unfolds is a race across continents and centuries. From the vaulted archive rooms of London to the incense-thick corridors of Madurai’s Meenakshi Amman Temple, Kavitha follows a trail of suppressed documents, colonial-era theft, and a betrayal her own ancestor may have died trying to expose. And the closer she gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes: someone inside her Ministry wants the mirror buried — permanently.
