Takshaka: The Last Guardian

In ancient India, as sacrificial smoke rises on the horizon, the serpent king Takshaka faces an impossible choice. The humans have begun the Sarpa Satra—a ritual sacrifice designed to exterminate every naga from existence.
History remembers Takshaka as the villain who killed King Parikshit. But this untold story reveals a leader desperately fighting to save his people from genocide.
When King Janamejaya vows to avenge his father's death by summoning and destroying all serpents, Takshaka must navigate between diplomacy and war. As his son Aravinda is captured and safe houses are discovered one by one, the serpent king watches his civilization crumble. Only the mysterious half-human child Astika might hold the key to ending the slaughter—if Takshaka can set aside his pride and thirst for revenge.
"Takshaka: The Last Guardian" reimagines a pivotal moment from the Mahabharata from the perspective of those facing extinction. This novella explores the moral complexities of leadership, the cost of vengeance, and how easily righteousness can justify cruelty.
History is written by the victors, but some stories deserve to be told from the other side.
