Anuja Chandramouli’s ‘Yama’s Lieutenant and the Stone Witch’ talks of Yama’s most trustworthy Lieutenant,
Agni Prakash back to work, again. This time, he has been told to get rid of the
Stone Witch, Nayima. Now, Nayima wants to create a whole new world, all for
herself. The idea behind it is that she would use the demons, spirits and even
humans to achieve her true purpose.
It is now, Agni’s job to find
these brutish creatures, and destroy them. These sets of demonic beings have
been ordered to destroy the worlds. Meanwhile,
everything is uneasy and disturbed, as inmates and the poor are being killed
and children are disappearing, all the time. In all this, Agni ends up being
the one, who has to end up paying a lot for it.
Instructed to look
for the Samayakalas, who are the keepers of time, he sets off in search for
them. But they are not at all easy to find. Samayakalas are given the job of
resetting the clock before anything else gets worse, than it already is. No one
really knows them or how they function, since it is a strict job for mortals to
stay away from them, and even immortals are kept away from them. He must find
them and prevent any chance of traces of life being ruined.
During this time,
Varu’s diary continues to tell the story of Yama’s thousand
hells. Everything
keeps on happening, as she had written it in her book. It lands on Agni
Prakash’s lap to make it all work. He must find a way, when he uses his best
bets, Dharami who was earth’s spirit, Minothi and Kritya. The first two find
themselves, being taken away by Nayima.
Will he find all
the three of his friends? Will he manage to stop the destruction of the worlds?
Will he manage to stop Nayima’s spirits, demons and even humans to stop from
turning into creatures ready to terminate the world? Will he find the keepers of
time? Will he survive the travel through time to save the world? Will he
ultimately manage to be the true lieutenant of Yama?
