Trigunaya - The Awakening - The First Echo in the War of Balance  (The Hum Press, Tarun Teja Kapu)

The hum chose her. The world will decide if she survives it. Neela was never meant to carry the three. Sattva — stillness of truth. Rajas — fire of will. Tamas — weight of shadow. When the ancient glyphs awaken in her skin, she becomes something the fractured world hasn’t seen in centuries — Trigunaya. But power without purpose is a storm without an anchor. As she searches for answers, shadowed forces move — the exiled preacher Kaal-Da, the masked warrior Aghor, and a kingdom built on nothing. Every step draws Neela deeper into a legend older than the gods, where allies vanish, enemies are not what they seem, and the balance of creation rests on the hum between worlds. The Awakening begins the Trigunaya trilogy — a mythic, cinematic journey through resonance, memory, and the choice to walk as more than one.
