In modern-day USA, an ordinary girl, Zoya Carter is on her way to University when a bizarre incident changes her life forever. Barely escaping a terrorist bombing by reading a stranger's thoughts, Zoya learns that she is a mutant born to an ancient prophecy. There are others with supernatural abilities like herself-being hunted by the Aifra, who seek to subjugate mankind. Zoya must join the mutants in a war of the ages to stop the Aifra. But the mutants are few in number and the odds are against them. All they have are cryptic clues left behind by the ancient Egyptians, Mayans and Indians and the prehistoric ruins of the fabled lands of Faiyum and Dwarka. A mysterious prophecy is uttered-a riddle they must decipher. It speaks of the birth of a Golden Age and a deliverer of the ages-the Kalki. But where is Kalki? Racing against time, the mutants must undertake the seat-gripping adventure of using science to understand the secrets of the ancients and use this knowledge to defeat the Aifra. Or else humanity will perish.
