Set across ancient India, this is the story of the sixty years in which a high-caste mother and an untouchable pyre-tender secretly documented what lies inside the human body — and the price every one of them paid for it.

“Treat, therefore, the flame. Never the lamp. Above all, do not open it.” — The Grand Parishad of Kashi
Content Advisory: This novel centers on ancient anatomy and surgical procedures; it contains unflinching depictions of physical trauma, dissection, and an unapologetically tragic conclusion.
