About the Book: Venom by Satyarth Nayak is a gripping mythological thriller set in contemporary India. The story begins with a celebrated cricketer’s brutal assault in Mumbai, leading to a series of similar attacks on prominent figures, including a historian, a godman, a wrestler, and a journalist. Each crime scene features names from Hindu mythology and eerie red rainbows in the sky, suggesting a supernatural connection. Detective Parag Suri and author Om Patnaik team up to unravel the mystery, discovering a link to Ashwathama, one of the seven immortals from the Mahabharata, seeking vengeance. A seven-year-old autistic girl from Manipur, whose drawings eerily resemble Bollywood star Ashwin Tomar, adds to the enigma. As the investigation deepens, secrets about Tomar’s enigmatic secretary, Yeva, and a cursed entity threatening humanity emerge. Blending mythology with modern-day suspense, Venom challenges perceptions of faith and reality.
