Honorable, but inexperienced brothers Princes Rama and Lakshman are duty-bound to take command of the seemingly dormant outpost of Ayodhya. They soon realize no place in the world is safe from Ravan's iron grip and must become warriors to defend their people to the death. In a time when what's left world is enshrouded in darkness, these brothers are mankind's last beacons of hope...
When the dread dark lord, Bala, threatened humanity, the Gods sacrificed a part of themselves and created an avatar of divine power... a Devi. Centuries later, when Bala rose again, Devi was reincarnated in the form of a young woman, Tara Mehta. But the latest Devi incarnate is more than a Goddess-she is also human. After defeating Bala, Devi defies the Gods and chooses to stay in the earthly realm to protect Sitapur. As she comes to terms with her new role, she must deal with the Apsara assassin, Kratha, determined to kill her, the shady underworld dons making their move on Sitapur and a mysterious super-powered being who hunts the Devi for purposes unknown.
