In Mayanagar, reality is engineered.
Governed by the Black Robes and powered by an algorithmic force called New Magik, the city runs on illusion and control. Most citizens move in its manufactured rhythm, their questions already answered for them.
Rudra—a street fighter with a mind too still to be controlled and a spirit too volatile to be contained—is dragged into the Ankham Tournament, a brutal selection arena that feeds the regime he despises.
What begins as survival turns into rupture when a violent encounter with the forbidden Echo Engine fractures his mind, branding him with a chaotic power he cannot fully control. Through these ruptures, Rudra glimpses a buried truth: Mayanagar was never just a city, but a fractured Interzone—a prison built to suppress ancient forces and silence the land’s true will.
Marked by the Echo Engine and hunted by every faction it threatens, Rudra must navigate betrayal, underground wars, and the unstable mechanics awakening inside his own mind.
The system wants to use him. The world wants to erase him.
What the Echo Engine chose him for may crown him—or consume him.

Sujith K Suresh
Sujith was born in Mumbai in 1997, a city he left too early to remember clearly, yet not early enough to escape its imprint. That blurred, half mythic memory became the seed for many of his imagined cityscapes, shaping the pulse and atmosphere of his debut novel.
A lifelong seeker of philosophical and esoteric knowledge rooted in Sanātana Dharma, Sujith spent years studying the mechanics of prāṇa, consciousness, and mythic archetypes. These explorations formed the foundation of Soul Key of Three Worlds, where ancient wisdom is reinterpreted through modern storytelling, action, and speculative metaphysics.
Raised primarily in Thrissur, Kerala, he later studied Mechanical Engineering and lived briefly in Bangalore. These experiences deepened his fascination with the tension between small town intimacy and sprawling urban anonymity. His writing emerges from that intersection, myth, technology, and mind.
