✦ Synopsis

Long before the times of Draupadi and Sita __
Immortalised in the hymns of the Rig Veda __
But forgotten to the memory of India __
Was the warrior queen with an iron leg, Vishpala.

Brought up in the pristine forest school of Naimisha, Avishi reaches the republic of Ashtagani in search of her destiny. When Khela, the oppressive king of the neighbouring Vrishabhavati, begins to overwhelm and invade Ashtagani, Avishi rises to protect her settlement but at a high cost.

Separated from her love, her settlement broken, with a brutal injury needing an amputation of her leg, what can Avishi do to save herself?
Will her disability let her continue to be the warrior that she was?
Can she fight Khela and save everything dear to her?
