Here it is.
The two figures on the cover are Vidyut and Savithri — the married couple at the centre of Book 1. Behind them: the temple city, the dharma chakra, and in the distance, the silhouette of a future that the 8th century cannot yet see but is beginning to reach toward.

The Resonance of Aryavartha is the name that stayed. Aryavartha: the ancient Sanskrit term for the land of the noble ones, the subcontinent understood not as a geography but as a civilisational idea. Resonance: the physics of sympathetic vibration, the way a frequency in one place can move matter in another, across any distance, if the conditions are right.
The book publishes this month.
