Long before the era of Christ, the mythological Trojan War left its mark on history with its out-ofthe- box strategy of infiltration to win a war. Today, a new Trojan War is on the horizon. BISHEN RAO: The Devil himself. Versus ISHA SRIVAS TAVA: The Devil's Nemesis In the heart of the map-less, Abujmarh forest in Chhattisgarh, lies a deadly secret: LalTara-a clandestine criminal empire dealing in narcotics, weapons and ammunition, ruled by the unstoppable Bishen Rao. Years ago, Special Agent Rakesh Srivastava, had dared to challenge Rao, diving headfirst into an abyss to bring him to justice. What followed was a dogfight and an irreversible mistake that passed down the baton-an inheritance of revenge-to Special Agent Isha, Rakesh Srivastava's daughter. Driven by a thirst for justice and a vendetta against Rao, Isha becomes the next player in this deadly game. She is aided by Bishen's niece, Sangha, with whom she shares her bloodline. Their Plan: The Trojan Horse. As Isha infiltrates the enemy's lair, threats lurk at every turn, leading her deeper into the pit of ruin. Her plans of incursion meet with roadblocks at every turn. She is stunned by the discovery of a mysterious secret of RED and the depths of terror and treachery that fester in the Devil's Den. She has to stop this doom or the world will soon see an unbelievable dance of death. The Trojan Horse is an electrifying saga of risk, deception, and courage, where every step could be Isha's last. Will she emerge victorious, or will LalTara's dark grip consume her too?
