In the sun-scorched ruins of Taxila, a team of archaeologists makes a discovery that could rewrite history-or end it.
Senior Archaeologist Atta-ur-Rahman unearths an ancient fragment of parchment bearing Emperor Ashoka's royal seal. Scholar Professor Naqvi recognises it instantly, believing it to be one of the mythical Nine Books of Ashoka's Unknown Men.
But when sceptical philologist Dr. Aafiya Gul deciphers the Prakrit script, the truth is far more terrifying: the text describes a 'calculated, engineered disease-a biological weapon. They have found 'The Codex of Bioalchemy.
Suddenly, the historical discovery becomes a blueprint for global devastation. The text is encoded, its secrets waiting to be unlocked. As the archaeologists realise they've unearthed not just knowledge, but a ticking time bomb, the unmistakable sound of boots shatters the stillness.
They are being watched. They have been found. The past is breathing again, and in its breath lies humanity's greatest peril.

Saumya Raghav is a storyteller at heart and the author of The Ashoka Code: Awakening, his debut novel. His love for stories began in childhood, as he watched his father immerse himself in books-a quiet ritual that planted the seeds of a lifelong curiosity about how history, emotions, and suspense collide.
By day, Saumya serves as AVP of Marketing at a global B2B tech firm, where he specialises in strategy, storytelling, and big-picture thinking. By night in Gurugram, he writes-drawing energy from his ever-supportive wife, the spirited enthusiasm of his nine-year-old son, and his encouraging mother.
A voracious reader, he navigates everything from thrillers and classics to contemporary voices and often to Hindi literature returns maestros-Phanishwar Nath Renu, Premchand, Manu Sharma, and Shivani-whose works ground his imagination in cultural richness and timeless human truths.
For Saumya, storytelling is about connection and community and believes that every shared moment is a story in the making. He invites readers to connect with him at saumyaraghavendrasingh@gmail.com.
